CASE large DV rollers come standard with a hydraulically adjustable "crab steering" system that can offset the rear drum up to 7 inches. In addition to that, a heavy-duty, roller-style articulation joint allows the machine to oscillate +/-10° to maintain drum-to-ground contact. Together, these features enable superior operation around corners, over bumps or dips, and in confined areas.
Water plays a crucial role in preventing surface damage and keeping rollers clean. That's why every component of DV rollers' spray system is built to be the best.
Triple Filtration – Filters at the tank, pump and nozzles help prevent spray-stopping clogs and prolong component life
Pressurization – Maintains even water flow to all nozzles regardless of grade
Standard Back-Up Pump – Ensures uninterrupted production with primary and back-up pumps
Multiple Water Settings – Matches water pressure to the job at hand
Dual Fill Ports – Offers convenient access from either side
Dual Filtration – Water is filtered at both the fill point and midway through the water cycle, reducing the amount of debris that can make it to the spray nozzle
High-Capacity, Corrosion-Proof Tank – Runs all day on a single tank
The front drums of our small DV rollers are positioned about 2" off center from the back drum, allowing for a tighter turning radius, while both drums have a balanced design and a tapered edge to reduce tearing around curves and during transitions.
Dual multi-function directional levers on either side of the seat allow for right- or left-handed operation. Automatic vibration control makes it easy to avoid surface damage from starting or stopping the machine. And if manual activation is preferred, it's just a push of a button. Also, an adjustable speed control lets operators set a max speed so there's no need to worry about going too fast for the frequency of the drum.
The DV209C and DV210C feature a new intuitive and innovative in-steering wheel front display. This display provides all machine diagnostics for the operator to review. The operator structure is also completely redesigned to continue to offer excellent visibility to both drums while offering a comfortable and ergonomic operating environment.

Rhino shot dead at Paris zoo by poachers who cut horn off with chainsawPosted by Jim at Tuesday, March 07, 2017
By Sunita Patel-Carstairs, News Reporter
7 March 2017
(Sky News) – A rhino has been shot dead by poachers who broke into a zoo and sliced its horn off with a chainsaw.
Four-year-old Vince was found dead by one of his keepers at Thoiry zoo, near Paris, on Tuesday morning.
One or more attackers are believed to have broken into the zoo in the night.
The rhino was shot three times in the head, French investigators said.
Staff at the zoo are said to be "extremely shocked" and an investigation into the "massacre" is under way.
Vince's second horn was partially cut, which the zoo said suggested either his attackers were disturbed or their chainsaw stopped working.
"This odious act was perpetrated despite the presence of five members of the zoological staff living on the spot and surveillance cameras," the zoo wrote on its Facebook page." […]
France's environment minister Segolene Royal said: "The killing of a rhinoceros at Thoiry is criminal.
"It is time countries outlaw the trade in ivory and horn as I have done in France." [more]

Discussion in 'Black Hat SEO' started by nccheesehead, Jun 22, 2011.
How do I know if one of my sites is sandboxed? Is there a tool that checks this?
There isn't a tool that I know of. But type this into Google: site:yoururlhere and if no pages show up, then you have been deindexed and have thus been sandboxed.
new Google panda was just released. If you had a drop in last few days, that's Panda.
ah ok, my sites are very new but I have done a few backlink and bookmark blasts, so I was not sure if that was a bad idea or not... I checked all domains and they are still there.
Thanks for the quick reply
No problem sandbox is different from low rankings. Your site is sandboxed when Google deindexes your website.
i dont think so. sandbox means you are on page 16. not deindexed.
Windmill is incorrect.
Google dance = Site dancing for a few days or couple of weeks or so. Your site will still be indexed if you type in site:yoursite.org
Sandbox = Site dancing for several weeks...ie, out of top 100 for a few weeks or months. Your site will still be indexed if you type in site:yoursite.org
Deindexed = Completely different and your site will not show up if you search for it using above method and may be gone forever.
That's completely and utterly incorrect and should be removed.
Separate names with a comma.

Benefit of Gaming TVs
Gaming TVs had become more and more popular due to the growing demand for a more immersive gaming experience. If you are an avid fan of gaming, you will definitely be able to relate with this need for bigger screens and excellent graphics and sounds that gives you better gaming experience. So although most TVs today are aimed at being a normal TV set or for watching movies, the demand for better gaming experience had pushed manufacturers to include this specific feature in their products.
A lot of these recent developments have also got to do with the rise in demand for online game features especially since gamers are a significant part of the market and they are also one of the most avid followers of new developments in this industry. . Although TVs can be a bad option for playing games, manufacturers have made it possible to develop technology that will significantly reduce input lags making the experience more flawless. With internet speed connections being offered at faster rates, the lessening of input lags in TVs definitely has completed what you may call a better platform for gaming.
Given the somehow bad reputation of playing games on TV, why would anyone want to play in it? Here are some of the advantages that you can derive from it compared to playing in a regular computer:
- It allows you to play on a bigger screen giving you a more immersive experience. We all know that average computer screens are quite limited in size and if you want a larger screen, you will have to pay for a significant amount for it. Compared with computer screens, TV screens can give you that larger and almost life-like experience without having to spend much. You can choose from 40 to 60-inch screens which will surely beat any gaming experience on a 12-inch monitor.
- Colors can be more vibrant with gaming TVs. Although colors are not always much better on a TV screen, there are brands and products that can deliver more vivid ones and greater depth and contrast than an average pc monitor. Some of the best are those from Samsung, LG, and Sony although you may have to find the right model that will suit your taste. The recent developments in LED and LCD technology have made it even possible to play games on higher definitions.
- Gaming TVs are sometimes a better option for multi-player games. Since there are multi-player games that require only one screen, having a larger screen will definitely provide some benefits. It provides a greater field of view and it allows you to play even from a significant distance. So whether you are on your bed or on a sofa, you don't have to move the monitor with you just so you can enjoy playing. It also allows you to bond more with your playmates since you don't have to play from different monitors.
- Gaming TVs can be more practical. A lot of gaming TVs come with internet connectivity, satellite capabilities, and excellent display without consuming a lot of energy. Instead of having to buy different gadgets to get these utilities and incur a lot of expenses, you can get all of these by buying one appliance. It is also easier to switch from watching to browsing the web to gaming without having to go from one gadget to another.
Taking your game play from an average computer monitor to a full-scale TV can definitely enhance your gaming experience. Not only will colors be more vivid and life-like, the upgraded size and scale of the game also allows for fuller immersion in the game. Since the visual aspect is one of the most important aspects of playing, then a gaming TV will surely have a significant impact in the experience of the game.
Another thing that can be said about it is that viewing a game from a larger display somehow eases the stress of looking at the details in the monitor. Since they are displayed in larger scale, you don't have to squint at messages or smaller images. This is one of the common problems that you can get from a smaller monitor and a TV seems to be just the solution for that.
How to Find the Gaming TVs
Finding the right gaming TV can be a difficult task if you are new in the field. Not having sufficient background about the features, advantages, and disadvantages of gaming TVs can end up into a nightmare if you purchase the wrong one. So here are some of the ways that will help you get the right TV for your gaming needs:
- The manufacturer's website. One of the best ways to learn more about gaming TVs is by visiting manufacturer's websites. They provide somewhat detailed information about the specs and features of the TV set as well as their release dates and availability. Since they are the ones who made the product, they are in a better position to give you the detailed aspects of the product.
- Gaming forums. Your next option is by visiting gaming forums. You will be able to meet more experienced players who can teach you a thing or two about gaming TVs. They will be able to give you some tips and techniques about which are the best options and on how you can avail them and where to buy them on a cheaper price.
- Tech reviews. Tech review sites such as those on CNET will give you an overview as well as first-hand reports on the TV's overall performance when it comes to gaming. Since it is quite expensive to try to purchase all gaming TVs, it is better left to experts who can afford them. You will also be able to get to know about the latest releases or newer models which are available in the market.
- TV distributors. Distributors are also a good source of information but you still have to be aware that they can be biased if they are trying to push a particular brand or stock which they want to dispose of. But, the advantage of buying from local distributors is that they can offer you more technical assistance when you purchase. You will also be able to get in touch with manufacturers especially if you are dealing with warranty issues when you buy from local distributors.
- The internet. I am making this a general source since the web is just the best way of getting information. You can browse blogs, chat on social media, and read individual assessments of the product. You may also be able to obtain unique information which is usually not available on the manufacturer's site or tech review sites.
So now that you know where you can find these gaming TVs, what standards or features should you be looking out for before you buy them? You cannot simply choose and buy them haphazardly especially when they cost a lot of money. Here are some things to keep in mind when browsing for TVs.
- Input lag. This is basically the delay that occurs from making your move or input on the game console to when that input shows up on the screen. There are games that can perform well even with a great input lag but there are also games, especially online video games, which require little amount of time to react to an enemy. This lag is about the TV's lag and not a network lag which is more dependent on the speed of internet connection.
- A lot of the reason why people choose TVs for gaming is the bigger display. Now this can present some problems if you are on a high-def LED or LCD TV and you are playing video games. Movements can become blurry and edges may not appear to be that smooth due to the variations in game console speeds and TV refresh rates.
- This can be a bit tricky since there are gaming TVs that really deliver better gaming experience for a higher price but there are also some that do well enough at a much lower one. So, the decision would eventually depend on your actual budget as well as your option as to go for more features.
- Quality or cost-effectiveness. Cost-effectiveness is often determined by the actual use that you can get out of something compared to its price. If you are an avid watcher of films or TV shows then you will have a different set of standards in selecting your TV and you may go for high-def ones even though the lag is great. For those who just really want to enjoy fast gaming responses this can also mean a different thing and they may opt to buy lower resolutions as long as the input lag is at a minimum.
Remember that manufacturers often engage in heavy advertising in order to attract their customers and so you have to be really careful on how such adverts affect your buying decision. You have got to know first what features you really need and then proceed to looking for such features on different brands. This way, you can get the best product in the market without having to sacrifice quality and costs.
Top 10 Best Gaming TV Reviews 2015
Not all gaming TVs are created equal and so one has to choose from among a myriad of options before he can find the right one. Although greater variety can sometimes be an advantage, it can also be time-consuming and stressing as well. It will require a lot of time and dedication to browse all the available products and look at their features.
In terms of price, Vizio offers the lowest price range that you can get for a good gaming TV. They often range from $500 upwards even with a good high-definition display. The most expensive include Samsung, Sony, and Toshiba which usually costs more than $1,000. The best way to get these TVs for a much lower price is to wait for sale and promos.
If you are looking for durable gaming TVs then the more expensive ones are usually the best options. More often than not, the higher cost is due to better-quality hardware and additional software and technology. After-sales services are also often much better among popular brands.
To help you select the best gaming TV for you, we have collected the top 10 TVs that are suitable for gaming. They were selected based on their price, quality, and features but the degree to which they meet these standards will vary at one point or another. They are presented here to narrow down possible options in case you find it hard to find the best TV for you.
1. Vizio E500i-A1 50-inch 1080p LED Smart HDTV
In terms of its price, this is one of the most affordable that you can get in the market at about $500. The overall look of this TV does not in any way present it as something cheap and the display is quite good considering its price.
Some of its good features are its LED lighting which gives good blacks and input lag is not that noticeable when playing at all.
2. Samsung UN50EH5000 50-inch 1080p 60Hz LED TV
In terms of display, Samsung had always been quite a good option and this model is one of them. It has a 60Hz refresh rate which provides somewhat smoother movements on the screen. Although pictures can look a bit paler compared to higher end TVs, this is a good option for its price.
3. Samsung UN50H5203 50-inch 1080p 60 Hz Smart LED TV
One of the best features of this TV is its built-in 2.4ghz and 5ghz Wi-Fi so connecting to online games is pretty easy. The display is quite good with its LED lighting. It has a Clear Motion Rate of 120Hz if you want great visuals but this actually results to longer lags on the game.
4. LG Electronics 60LA6200 60-inch Cinema 3D 1080p 120Hz LED-LCD HDTV
This is a good option if you want to watch shows or movies in 3D and be able to switch to gaming mode easily. Display is not that good though with poor blacks and images tend to have a washed-out look. At 120Hz refresh rate, it seems to perform poorly in motion videos and images can be a bit blurry at times.
5. Vizio P502ui-B1 50-inch 4k Smart LED HDTV
This can be considered as one of the best gaming TVs out in the market. The resolution is definitely good even at lower settings and it has a record input lag of only 17ms which is really one of the best. It has a clear and sharp display with excellent blacks so you get better depth with pictures.
6. Sony KDL40W600B 40-inch Smart LED TV
There is a reason why Sony is a popular choice in gaming TVs and this is one of the reasons why: it has one of the least input lags of only 15ms. It delivers excellent images with only 1080p and it is also compatible with standard game refresh rates of 60Hz. Another advantage of this model is that it is PS3 ready and you can easily connect to an online game just by using your Dualshock 3 controller on this TV.
7. Sony KDL50W800B 3D Smart LED TV
If your games do not really require a lot of real-time inputs and you want high-definition display then this is your best option. This TV allows full HD gaming experience with a 24ms lag and an option for game mode if you want a lesser input lag. It has one of the best blacks on the market and its built-in Wi-Fi also makes it easier to connect with online games.
8. Samsung UN65H8000 Curved Smart 3D LED TV
This has one of the best displays in the market with a refresh rate of 240Hz and a Clear Motion Rate of 1200 so moving images appear really flawless. It has a sharp contrast and a broad spectrum of colors so display is really great. The curved model allows for lesser light reflections and a more immersive gaming experience.
9. Sony KDL-55W900A 3D LED TV
This Sony model has an input lag of 17-19ms which is really great compared to other models. It has a refresh rate of 240Hz and Sony's Triluminos display which makes brilliant contrasts and colors. Its built in Wi-Fi allows you to connect to online games and the 3D feature gives you more viewing options when watching movies or TV.
10. Toshiba 50L2300U LED HDTV
The advantages of this model are its slim design as well as its various options for gaming. It has a Dynamic Mode where you can choose to play games with excellent visuals at 120Hz refresh rates and a Game Mode where input lag is reduced. Its 1080p display ensures high-definition displays as well.
With the number of models that are being touted as good gaming TVs nowadays, it can be difficult to really determine which one is for you. There are some features which are usually added that you may not really need at all especially if you don't really plan on using them often. One example is the 3D feature since not a lot of games are available in this format.
Another feature which is quite popular today is the 4K display. Now, if you want a great TV with gaming features then this can be a good option but if you are only looking forward to using it to play video games, then you may have to settle with 1080p formats. Most games today are still not compatible with 4K resolutions and if you do decide to play in 4K then you have limited and even unpopular game options.
There is also the curved TV feature which others take to be an advantage while others do not. Well, this depends on your own personal preference as well as your experience. Although the general rule is that curved TVs only work well in larger screens which means you may have to purchase a 50 to 60-inch TV to enjoy its benefits.
The best gaming TV that you can find are those that meets your needs and expectations for gaming which are mainly good graphics and less input lags. Today, these needs are being addressed with the development of newer technology as well as innovative materials. This means though that you may have to shell-out more money to get better quality.
In terms of display, there are a variety of features which are being offered in the market which aims to meet better visuals such as excellent LED backlighting for darker blacks and broad spectrum colors for a truer and more life-like rendering of images. If you really want sharp images then your best bet are the high-end Sony and LG models. Samsung comes in third with most models coming up with less-satisfactory image quality.
As far as input lag is concerned, Sony also stands out as the best with the least amount of lag at 15 to 17 milliseconds. Next are LG and Samsung with about 30 to 40 milliseconds which are considered to be at mid-range. Lastly, is Vizio with 60 up to 100+ lag depending on your display settings. Your option will depend on whether your game would need fast responses or not.
In the end, choosing a gaming TV will depend on your own needs and preferences: do you want high definition display while sacrificing gaming speeds or would you rather have lesser quality images as long as input lag is minimized? Higher refresh rates will be of considerable value as well especially if you are looking for smoother transition in movies although an average 60 to 120 Hz will do just fine. The standard 1080p resolution is also a good option despite the presence of 4K TVs.

"For freedom as we know is a thing that we have to conquer for ourselves everyday, like love; and we are always losing freedom, just as we are always losing love, because after each victory we think we can settle down and enjoy it without further risk or struggle. If we would keep love or freedom we can never settle down. For consider how many and various are the hosts of freedom's enemies .... I mean the great class of people who are engaged in stifling freedom as a means of livelihood, and take their reward in cash down and the joys of home." 1
Henry Nevinson
The Union of Democratic Control (UDC) was formed by leading Socialists, Pacifists and Liberals in response to the outbreak of the First World War. Its overall aim was to create new international structures and to empower citizens to take greater control of foreign policy. For the following sixty years it acted as watch-dog of global power-abuse, campaigning against militarism and colonial repression. It fought these destructive and oppressive forces, constantly exposing the secret diplomacy which undermined public scrutiny of foreign policy formulation, handing power instead to business interests, armaments manufacturers and governments without mandates. The organisations title refers directly to this.
In September 1914 ED Morel was joined by Charles Trevelyan, Ramsey MacDonald, Arthur Ponsonby (at this point a Liberal MP) and Norman Angell (then President of the Civil Union). They aimed to establish an organisation which would take an independent line over the war. In that year they drew up their "four cardinal points of policy" to which was added a fifth during 1916:
- No province shall be transferred from one government to another without the consent by plebiscite or otherwise of the population of such province .
- No Treaty Arrangement or Undertaking shall be entered upon in the name of Great Britain without the sanction of Parliament. Adequate machinery for ensuring democratic control of foreign policy shall be created.
- The Foreign Policy of Great Britain shall not be aimed at Alliances for the purpose of maintaining the Balance of Power, but shall be directed to Concerted action between the Powers, and the setting up of an international agreement as shall be the guarantee of an abiding peace.
- Great Britain shall propose as part of the Peace Settlement a plan for drastic reduction, by consent, of the armaments of all the belligerent Powers, and to facilitate that policy shall attempt to secure the general nationalisation of the manufacture of armaments, and the control of the export of armaments by one country to another.
- The European conflict shall not be continued by economic war after the military operations have ceased. British policy shall be directed towards promoting free commercial intercourse between all nations and the preservation and extension of the principle of the open-door.2
From the beginning the UDC was strongly supported by the Independent Labour Party (ILP) leadership; Ramsay MacDonald, Philip Snowden, Henry Noel Brailsford and Arthur Henderson. The Labour Leader, the Party's newspaper, gave Morel regular column space. The UDC attempted to widen this support to the Labour Party and labour movement as a whole in order to create a substantive Labour foreign policy. This was met with public enthusiasm; the UDC's popularity was almost immediate. The first Annual General Meeting reported sixty nine branches in England, five in Scotland, four in Wales and three in Ireland.3 The passing of the Memoranda of War Aims by the Labour Party and the Trade Union Congress at their 1917 Conferences drew them closely into line with UDC policy, and the Party's growing commitment to a non-vindictive peace settlement and the suppression of covert diplomacy further reflected the UDC's influence. By the end of the war labour organisations with nearly 650,000 members had affiliated.4 Leading pacifists and anti-imperialists such as Leonard Woolf, Helena Swanwick and Bertrand Russell were producing numerous penny pamphlets and books. They also held seats on the General and Executive Council.
By November 1916, the UDC was producing its own monthly journal and was confident enough of public awareness to use only its initials as the title: The UDC. According to Helena Swanwick's account of the early years, virulent attacks in the Press against Morel and the movement - the man they had once hailed as King Leopold's defeater - were so numerous as to advertise the organisation world-wide. Morel remained as editor when the name changed in July 1919 to Foreign Affairs: A Journal of International Understanding. On his death in 1924, Helena Swanwick succeeded him. During the war, the UDC developed a large and influential network of European UDC's and other affiliated bodies, links it continued to have in some form throughout its history.
The Allied post-war settlement was attacked by the UDC for not providing a mechanism for peace. Rather, they argued, it was an attempt by the victorious powers to destroy an economic and military rival that would leave Europe war-torn and in danger of resurgent militarism. As part of their campaign, Morel and Ponsonby visited Germany in 1920 and registered their opposition to the treaty in the German Press.5 Clause three of the UDC's aims is noteworthy as it demonstrates how soon the organisation realised the need for new international peace-keeping structures to replace the treaties and alliances which, far from preserving the peace, had been the immediate cause of the war.
President Woodrow Wilson of the United States, one of the leading international advocates of the League of Nations, was in close contact with the UDC, many of his policies being similar to theirs. Once the League was established they threw their energies into it and the campaign for world disarmament. This was in line with point 4 of their aims and objectives. However, the League was never ratified by the United States Senate, compounding its inherent weakness. Wilson remained close to UDC policy by speaking out against the re-emergence of separate treaties and deals among League members but was unable to overcome the situation. France continued to move against Germany and nascent fascism began to pose new threats to world order. Morel's death in 1924, left the UDC seriously weakened, from which it never fully recovered.
As the world began to slide towards war again, when Japan invaded Manchuria and fascist Italy invaded Abyssinia (Ethiopia), the UDC campaigned to expose the international arms racket making such militarism possible. It produced a series of highly publicised leaflets on the subject. It worked to inform the public of the rise of fascism and aggression, reporting on Manchuria, Abyssinia, Italy, Spain and Nazi Germany. During the 1939-1945 war it used its European contacts to gather information on resistance movements which would otherwise have been unobtainable.
With the end of the Second World War and the intensification of the Cold War, the UDC brought to the fore new activists to face the new challenges; people such as Ben Parkin, MP, Bob Edwards, MP and Frank Allaun, Salford's MP. German re-armament and the proliferation of nuclear weapons were the two major post-war campaigns.
The post-war UDC moved to meet the demands of the nationalist movements emerging in the colonies recognising that an unchangeable and anachronistic system must be ended. Moreover, it acknowledged the threat to peace that arose from attempts to keep the system functioning in many regions including Malaysia, Indo-China and Africa. The new movements and their policies were given platforms and campaigning was linked to other organisations such as the Movement for Colonial Freedom.
With no study of the post-Morel UDC being available, it is difficult to discuss the impact that their campaigns had on the wider labour movement, or whether they reflected general ideas and trends. It may be argued that apart from a diminished role within the Labour Party, the UDC also became a victim of its own success. It was no longer remarkable as an educator of the British public on international affairs because the population in general was better informed and more perceptive of world issues.

Assad-Putin embrace tells story of Russia's Syria campaign
BEIRUT – What's in a hug?
Syrian President Bashar Assad, arriving to the Black Sea resort of Sochi on Monday, warmly embraced his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin, almost resting his head on the Russian president's shoulder.
That photograph, distributed to the media by Moscow, tells the story in a nutshell of Russia's two-year military campaign in Syria that has largely contributed to Assad's survival in power.
There seems to be real gratitude in the moment.
Later, Assad thanked Putin and Russia's top brass for their "sacrifices" and efforts made to "save our country."
He may have well said thank you for saving me — or at least my job.
Without Russia's support and heavy airpower, Assad would still be battling for political survival, or would have been possibly deposed.
When Assad last visited Russia in October 2015, some observers remarked that Putin appeared cold to the Syrian leader. It was early in the Russian military campaign, only one month in.
Many among Assad's opposition will say the Russian intervention preserved Assad's rule in Syria while thousands more were killed and tens of thousands more displaced in the civil war, now in its seventh year.
Some also claim that the Russian involvement may have helped put any Assad accountability for human rights abuses out of reach.
It was a huge gamble by Putin, but one that appears to have paid off, at least for the two of them.
Moscow has a seemingly irreversible footprint in the Middle East again, and Assad appears to have survived the war.

Citing an inability to come to an agreement with American Fairs and Facilities, the group offering to operate the Orange County Fairgrounds, Costa Mesa City Council voted to include Facilities Management West in its negotiations.
Facilities Management was previously ranked second in terms of who the city is working with to come up with a financial plan to pay the $96 million it is offering to the state for the 150-acre fairgrounds.
"It wasn't until today that it became clear that we didn't have a final agreement with American Fairs," said City Atty. Kimberly Hall Barlow.

A copy of the document can be found here - Research report - HS2 Fast Track to Growth May 2017
The new 'Beta version' of the HS2 Video https://we.tl/SiZyNaY7Bf
EMC and D2N2 have published a document which sets out our initial plans to use HS2 in the East Midlands to create an extra 74,000 jobs and generate an additional £4 billion of GVA by 2042.
The document represents work in progress. Our final growth strategy will be published in July 2017 and will include a prioritised investment proposition for key development sites and interventions. Key initial priorities include:
The document can be viewed here: East Midlands HS2 Growth Strategy Fast Track to Growth
EMC has published a report commissioned from Farrells and Peter Brett Associates, setting out proposed key design principles for the HS2 Hub Station at Toton, including an initial 'concept design'. The report is intended to provide a basis for working with the Government and HS2 Ltd to deliver a Hub Station that maximises connectivity and economic growth for the East Midlands.
Final Farrells Report
HS2 Hub Station Concept Design
With financial support from D2N2, EMC commissioned Farrells and PBA to develop Hub Station design principles based on the Strategic Board's agreed vision and aspirations for local, regional and national connectivity. The outcome is intended to inform initial design work led by HS2 Ltd in the period prior to January 2016.
This report was commissioned to highlight the priorities, towards maximising the economic growth potential of the future Toton HS2 hub station for the East Midlands, linking the station with its local area and the region.
Material generated by local councils, within their area of expertise, has been collated, after review by Farrells and PBA, to form a technically robust and coherent technical appendix to this document.
While limited in detail, the report has the ambition of establishing a shared agenda with HS2 Ltd and Government to co-design the East Midlands HS2 station and to be taken forward through a future Hybrid Bill process.
A Strategic Brief for the Station:
Objectives Agreed by the East Midlands HS2 Strategic Board, September 2015
Strategic Brief: Objectives to Maximise Wider Regional Benefits OF HS2
An iconic multimodal transport interchange as well as a destination station as the catalytic hub for the region.
Towards Maximising the Benefits of HS2 – Requirements for a World Class Destination Station
EMC provides the secretariat for the HS2 Strategic Board, the Board is chaired by Cllr Jon Collins, Vice Chair of EMC and Leader of Nottingham City Council.
The Board will provide strategic political guidance for the delivery of HS2 with the aim of maximising the economic benefits for the region, whilst seeking to remove or mitigate any adverse impacts.

From No Offer to a D1 Scholarship
Story from one of my husbands former players that proves that you can't lose if you never quit! Learn more about the Triton Ray's North at www.forty3training.com.
Triton Rays North are proud to announce former C Nick Sainato inks with ETSU! If you know Sainato he is a hard working kid, who always believed he would make it at the college level. He has a great story and we wanted to share.
Q. How many college offers did you have when you played your last high school game?
Sainato : I didn't have a single offer.
Q. When you played for the triton rays north after your senior year of high school when did you commit to a college baseball program?
Sainato : The summer after my SR year of high school.
Q. After your freshman year of college, what happened? Did you plan on returning to that program?
Sainato : After my freshman year I didn't really have a chance to think about that because my coach was fired, so I had to really scramble and look for a school to play for.
Q. Tell us how your dedication & will to succeed landed you with a scholarship at a D1 program?
Sainato : I have always known hard work since I was younger and wanting to make myself better at everything I did. But it was different after my freshman year because I had no place to go I really hit a wall and had to pick myself up and keep working towards a goal I wasn't even sure achievable at the time. At the end of the summer ball I had a lot of obstacles in my way of playing in college again. I just decided to put myself out there and call every college coach I knew. Finally after many days spent on the phone Coach Shelton at Walters state put me in contact with ETSU saying they were looking for another catcher, and with in hours I was talking to ETSU coaches and the next day I was on campus deciding to become a ETSU catcher.
Q. Who influenced and assisted with this opportunity?
Sainato : God really answered my prayers. I would pray every chance I could asking him not to let me stop playing the game I've poured my heart into. Who also helped me was my family, Brian Smith, and Allen Lang, which out their guidance I wouldn't be near the man or baseball player I am today.
Q. What advise would you give a HS senior who doesn't have an offer?
Sainato : Work as hard as you can every day in every facet of the game and never give up on your skills. Stay confident in your process even when your backs against the wall.

So. I was sitting in my classroom early on Monday morning. There was a hesitant tap at the door, and who should appear but Momo; our 'do-it-all' service technique. He beckoned, ominously. Oh-oh. Now what?
He pointed.
Oh dear. Oh my goodness. Hmm. Yes. I see.
An hour or so later. Alexis is hopping. Can't find one of his shoes you see. But never mind that. Sit down. Listen. This is s e r i o u s !
We have us a bit-of-a-problem. The bit-of-a-problem is that the cleaner was unable to do her job. She was unable to do the cleaning.
Nicholas. Concerned. 'Maybe she is sick', he suggests.
Tim thinks she might just be too tired. Or in need of lunch.
No. She is fine. But still she can't do her job.
'Is it too difficult for her?' asks Melchior.
Well. Kind of.
'Is it too dirty?' wonders Ella.
Well. Kind of. You see, she can only do the cleaning if the school is TIDY.
Melchior thinks. 'Maybe because something was on the floor?' he wonders.
Did you say something Melchior? Or some things?
Look at that HUGE pile of things. That was what Momo was pointing at. All-of-those-things were on the floor. There were jackets-and-sweaters-and-boots. A book. Someone's snack (already on its way to becoming compost!) and a cookie wrapper. And some cheese. One shoe…..
Oh. My. Goodness.
All-of-those-things-on-the-floor were stopping the cleaner from doing her job. And of course when I had gathered up all-of-those-things-from-the-floor there was dust and there was mud left behind. There were crumbs and there was sand. Quite a lot of dust-and-mud-and-crumbs-and-sand - although that was just dust-and-mud-and-crumbs-and-sand from a day or so. Can you just imagine how dirty the school would get if no-one bothered to pick up their things from the floor EVER? If there was dust-and-mud-and-crumbs-and-sand from a whole week? A month?
What is our responsibility do you think? Do you think that maybe we should each be responsible for checking to make sure that our own things do not get left on the floor? Do you think that maybe we should each be responsible for throwing our own rubbish in the bin? Do you think that maybe we should each be responsible for putting back the books we have borrowed?
Yes. I do too.

Reiffel to skipper Bushrangers
The Chief Executive Officer of the Victorian Cricket Association, Mr. Ken Jacobs, today announced that the VCA Board have reappointed Paul Reiffel as Captain of the Victorian Bushrangers for season 2000/2001. Darren Berry was reappointed as Vice-Captain.
The appointments follow a recommendation to the Board by the State selectors, with the positions being confirmed at the VCA Board meeting Monday night.
Reiffel was delighted with his reappointment, stating he was looking forward to leading the Bushrangers into the coming season and building upon last season's efforts. "The team made significant progress last season in the Pura Cup, however we realise that Queensland are the yardstick and we still have to make up some ground to match them. I'm looking forward to that challenge with Darren Berry and all of the Bushrangers squad."
Bushrangers coach John Scholes endorsed the reappointment. "The Captaincy of the Victorian Bushrangers is one of high prestige in Victorian sport. The role sits very well with a person of Paul Reiffel's qualities. As he has grown into the job, he has won the respect of teammates and opponents alike for his leadership and strength of character."
The Victorian Bushrangers first match is a Mercantile Mutual Cup clash against the NSW Blues at North Sydney Oval, on Sunday October 15.

The media coverage of natural disasters (hurricanes, fires, floods, ice storms, etc.) indicates the prevalence of natural disasters in most, if not all, ecosystems. In order for ecologists to study, understand, and ultimately predict how these disturbances affect ecosystems, it is necessary for them to know more about the physical processes involved in these disturbances and to learn how to couple these processes to the ecological systems.
In Plant Disturbance Ecology, physical scientists who study some of the disturbances provide an introduction to the physical disturbance processes while ecologists attempt to relate this information to the way the vegetation responds to the disturbances.
- Disturbance and Succession
Wind Processes
- The turbulent wind in plant and forest canopies
- Microbursts and macrobursts: windstorms and blowdowns
- Understanding how the interaction of wind and trees results in windthrow, stem breakage and canopy gap formation.
Gravity Processes
- Meteorological conditions associated with ice storm damage to forests
- The effect of icing events on the death and regeneration of North American trees
Geomorphic Processes
- Disturbance processes and dynamics in coastal dunes
- Coastal dune succession and the reality of dune processes
- Fluvial geomorphic disturbances and life history traits of riparian tree species
Hydrologic Processes
- Water level changes in ponds and lakes: the hydrological processes
- Vegetation dynamics due to fluctuating water levels in prairie wetlands
Combustion Processes
- Modeling heating effects
- Fire effects on grass populations
- Wildfire as a distributed tree population process
Biotic Processes
- Insect defoliators as periodic disturbances in northern forest ecosystems
- Modelling disturbance and recovery of lodgepole forest due to mountain pine beetle outbreaks on landscape scales
- Relationship between spruce budworm outbreaks and forest dynamics in eastern North America
- Impact of beaver foraging on structure of boreal forests
- Beaver, willow shrubs and floods
"The process by which vegetation changes over time has fascinated plant ecologists for at least a century. Early theories emphasized slow, steady change to a hypothetical stable climax" community. By the 1970s, ecologists began to realize that disturbance was the rule, not the exception, and a rather radical shift in thinking about vegetation took hold. This multidisciplinary compendium seeks to move what might be called disturbance science beyond descriptive approaches to look at how particular physical disturbances actually cause particular ecological effects. The many authors cover, e.g., the specifics of how forces like wind (turbulence, microbursts, etc.) can physically cause stem breakage in trees. Other modes of disturbance treated here include ice storm damage to forests and trees; dynamic processes that affect coastal dunes; fluvial processes related to riparian tree growth; the effects of water-level changes in ponds and lakes; heating effects on vegetation; fire's effects on grasslands and trees; a variety of insect impacts on different systems; and the impact of beavers on woody vegetation. The level of technical detail in the chapters varies greatly, and a few rely heavily on mathematical formulas. Other chapters are essentially literature reviews. Plant ecologists with a process- or mechanistically oriented approach to understanding vegetation change will appreciate this book. Summing Up: Recommended. Upper-level undergraduates and above."

I haven't blogged in so long I don't know where to start. I cant believe that the warm weather is approaching us! Yeah! For those of you that know me, know that I love the heat. We have had so many wonderful things happen in our family, birthdays, weddings, new jobs, track meets, and training...and more training, and more training. My marathon is in less than 5 weeks. Am I excited? Yes, and very nervous.
I am now working full time (Ultradent, glad my dental degree came in handy) and it makes it hard to get everything done during the day, even when my day starts at 4:30am. So Rob and I are going to start (Monday) Whoot-Whoot.... P90X We are so excited. I hope that it helps me get a little stronger.
Taylor has been busy at school. She has a brand new iPod touch waiting for her when, (I say when, not if) she brings home a 4.0 and she also is running on the WJ High Track Team! Go! Fight! Win! She is 2nd councelor in the Laurel program.
Allexis and Lauren are already 4.0 students.... I am so blessed to have such amazing children.
Lex is busy with school, learing the guitar, and is getting braces next week.. (sorry Lex that you got my teeth!) and she was just made Mia Pres.
Lauren is Beehive Pres. and the best little seamstress ever! I cant believe that she picked up on it so well. (She must have gotten that talent from my mom for sure!)
We have been busy planning a big day for our family too. May will be an exciting month. We are off to Mexico on a cruise! So much to tell!! So little time!

Old Friends
David and Jen are old friends of ours. Jen and I met and worked together at JetBlue and both of us ended up living in Vegas as well. We had them over for a traditional Scottish meal. (David served an LDS mission in that area) Good times with good people.

Harvest, a time to gather!
Oh' our afternoon picking pumpkins. My girls are so sweet and love to take a picture of my better half...(my large rear-end) Little Lauren disappeared and wandered for ages looking all by herself. (this was suppose to be a family event) and Rob was on the internet most of the time... but all in all it was a success. We came home and painted them.. pictures to come!

As many of you know I have been on a health kick for the past year. I started running again in March of this year and have successfully kept it up at least five times a week. I am happy to announce that Robbie has been trying to keep up with me the past two months, and as of this week, he has passed me! I cant keep up with those long legs on that 6'3 tall body of his!
It now is an obsession of mine. During the week I run just under four miles a day, and a long run on Saturdays (six or so miles) How disappointed I am that the weather has turned so cold so fast! What's a girl suppose to do all winter? Ugh! I HATE running indoors.

School dayz...
First day of school. This was a difficult picture to get as we rushed out the door. Late on the first day... not so good.
I caught the three girls blowing rose pedals off of their noses at my brothers reception. Super cute!

Today, in our Apartment whatsapp group (I don't know how to explain this. Just use your imagination) Mr Dyeria, forwarded a joke. Well he always does but today's joke was different. As soon as, he sent the message, other person replied "Ha! Purana Hai! (Ha! Old one!)". The most annoying Mr Dyeria was annoyed by another annoying person, His son, Johndizz, lol. And everyone started making fun of his father. So Mr Dyeria replied "Haan, toh kya hua? Teri maa bhi toh puraani hai, tu uski baatein sunn sakta hai, toh mere joke enjoy kyun nahi kar sakta? (Yeah, so what? Your mom is old too and you still listen to her, then why can't you enjoy my joke?)" And then Mrs Dyeria started typing. Now I know this is not apartment whatsapp group but more like "Dyeria Family Group" so I quit the group to avoid drama.
I know Mr Dyeria is the most irritating person I've ever met and I would never leave a chance to insult him, but this time I did. Yes, I decided to empathize him. I also believe that just because he repeated a forwarded joke, there was nothing wrong in his intentions. He just wanted to make people laugh. Throughout my life, I've realized that its very easy to point out mistakes, but at the same time very difficult to point out the positive traits. Now I believe in optimistic approach and discarded pessimistic attitude few years ago (Do I sound like telly shopping over acting models?). I do admit, sometimes I am pessimist, but mostly I try my best to be positive. And I think everyone should have a optimistic approach to life. And here are my reasons:-
- Optimism promotes positivity: We don't know what's in the store for tomorrow. The attitude of being an optimist helps us to expect positive results and helps in building resilience at the time of challenges. This helps the person to welcome any kind of unexpected change hence creating a positive anticipation of future.
2. Optimism promotes productivity: It upgrades our various skills in order to fight life adversities. Optimism enhances patience. It increases your tolerance levels because it lowers the risk of you being irritated by little things. An optimist is a very approachable person. Admit it or not, you will never seek advice from a person who always thinks negative.
3. Optimism is good for the person oneself: A person will never change until they themselves realize they need to. An optimist person has control over their emotions. They have self respect, self confidence and self esteem. They are humble, happy, satisfied and thankful to their life. It promotes bonding between different individuals. A Harvard School of Public Health study found that People who tend to look on the bright side have fewer heart problems, such as cardiovascular disease. They also have better cholesterol readings: In a separate survey of nearly 1,000 middle aged men and women, those who reported higher levels of optimism had lower levels of triglycerides, or less fat in the blood. In short, optimism promotes physical, mental and social well being!
4. World needs more Optimists: Our world already have too many problems to deal with like people killing people, global warming, friends betraying friends, deforestation etc. Its painful to be a pessimist in this already dull world. So be the person who makes someone smile. Promise yourself to not be the killer of hope but be that ray of hope. To be the ray of hope in this world of Despair. A perfect example of pessimistic attitude is fat shaming. Psychologists have done a lot of research on this, and the evidence is very clear Fat shaming DOES NOT motivate people, but makes them feel terrible about themselves and actually causes them to eat more and gain more weight.
Thank you guys for reading. Don't forget to share your opinions, like and share this blog! Have a great week ahead. Hereby sharing one of my favorite quote by none other than Martin Luther King Jr

Just like the unpredictable Roman ides, the date on which a Permanent Electronic Review Management (PERM) application must be filed is the cause of much confusion.
One section of the law states that a PERM application must be filed "within 180 days" of completing the advertising and recruitment campaign; while another states that it must be filed "within six months", which is more than 180 days.
In a recent case, the employer sent its application to the Department of Labour on the 178th day, which was a Friday. The courier could not deliver during the weekend because the Department of Labour was closed, so the application was delivered on Monday – the 181st day. If the applicable filing rule is six months, the application could be considered properly filed – even on the 181st day. However, if the applicable rule is 180 days, the application was arguably not filed within the necessary timeframe.
Generally, the date on which a document is effectively transmitted from one party to another may be the date on which it is sent or the date on which it is actually delivered or received; the PERM rule is unclear about which date should be used. Motions to reconsider and appeals are considered properly filed if sent on the 30th day, but responses to supervised recruitment and audits state that they must be "supplied" to the PERM officer no later than the 30th day. 'Supplied' usually means delivered, but this is also unclear.
Jurisprudence seems to follow the 'sent' rule more often than the 'received' rule, but there is no clear consensus. While electronic filing is instantaneous, the system may crash or be taken down for maintenance. This may be why the employer in this case couriered a hard-copy application to the Department of Labour.
The Department of Labour denied the case on the basis that it must receive an application within 180 days. The employer appealed, arguing that it had six months to do so; and that even if it had only 180 days, the best approach would be to consider the filing date to be the date on which the application was dispatched by courier.
Three judges considered the case on appeal. Two judges sympathised with the employer, while the third did not. The dissenter pointed out that the law on which the other two judges had based their decision was the law for professionals, and that since a stonemason is not a professional, their arguments were irrelevant.
Fortunately for the employer, the sympathisers outvoted the dissenter and the employer's application was approved, but only after a delay of more than four years – the approximate time it takes to appeal a PERM case.
While the dates in the PERM law appear to be no more precise than the colourful Roman calendar, a modern way to keep track of things is to use an online date calculator to determine the last day for filing. Employers should then allow several extra days to safely send an application to the Department of Labour.

See Jane Work
We've always had a weakness for office supplies: fresh notebooks, new fine-tipped pens, a Rainbow Brite Trapper Keeper...But now, as most of us have moved on beyond the thrills of picking out our three-ring binders and shiny new pencils, it seems like getting stationary and office organizers is a luxury. At See Jane Work's new location in Thousand Oaks, it feels like a cross between a Kate Spade boutique, a Container Store, and one of those hole-in-the-wall Japanese paper shops. All of which, in our book, are excellent things.
While this shop definitely leans on the higher end of the scale (it ain't no Staples), it also delivers more unique office organization items from some of our favorite designers: Knock Knock, Bob's Your Uncle, and Buttoned-Up. This shop is opened Tuesday to Saturday from 10 am to 6pm, and you can also call and make an appointment if you have an organizational crisis. For those of you not in the Thousand Oaks area, they have a comprehensive website that offers most of their merchandise at www.seejanework.com.

An anonymous tipster emailed us a note saying, "word is that they're casting the new 'Blade' TV series to be shot in Vancouver. Sounds like David Goyer himself is involved."
As spoilers go, you could practically look at this link at World's Finest and know the whole story to the new "The Batman vs. Dracula" direct to DVD animated feature.
Sci Fi Wire has some quotes from creator Neil Gaiman, who talked about his collaborative relationship with artist/director Dave McKean. ""He had an idea of what he could do, which I didn't," Gaiman said. "He had the idea that, for $4 million, he could actually make this thing. And he knew kind of how he could do it. And I had to trust him a lot on that. So if he'd say,'Oh, you can't do this,' I wouldn't do it. He really had an idea going in what his technical limitations were. That gave him sort of a senior role. We had great arguments, which was actually very odd at the time, because we'd never had them. We've worked together for 17 years, and we'd never argued before. Normally we have this lovely, strict demarcation of roles. I needed something. I'd give it to Dave. Dave would give me what I needed. It was nice and simple. But we couldn't do that this time. If we had $100 million, we probably would have done it like that again, a strict demarcation of roles. I would have gone off and written something and given it to Dave, and he would have made it. But we didn't. We had 4 million. And we were trying to make a fantasy movie that would actually look beautiful and contain all this wonderful stuff."
According to Comics Continuum, "Mark Hamill, who played The Trickster in CBS' live-action The Flash series, is revisiting the character after 14 years. Hamill is the voice of The Trickster in the upcoming 'Flash and Substance' episode ... Hamill played The Trickster in two episodes of the short-lived 'The Flash:' 'The Trickster,' which premiered on Feb. 7, 1991; and 'The Trial of The Trickster,' the series finale which aired on May 18, 1991. Both episodes were written by John Francis Moore and Howard Chaykin."
First Peter Parker gets antagonists, now he's getting a sword? According to an article at Millimeter.com, Sony is developing a proprietary rendering software package for use on the new film. "It's a program called 'Katana' -- named after a Japanese sword that's supposed to be light and quick," said digital effects supervisor Rob Bredow. "So you can tell what our intentions are! We picked one CG feature and one live-action film, both of which were big and could handle a long development cycle to get Katana up and running. The goal [was to show] that it would be useful for both live-action effects and CG features."
There's a new video interview with director Joss Whedon over at IGN's FilmForce, where he talks about both cult favorite "Serenity" and a bit about Themiscira's Finest.
Director David Cronenberg has another interview up, this time at JoBlo.com. he offered tidbits about Viggo Mortensen's character process. "Viggo is one of the few…actually he's the only actor I've ever met who does set decoration," Cronenberg said. "When he went to Indiana and Philadelphia to do research, he would buy stuff that he would think that this character would have around him. And he brought back tons of stuff, which he would then put on the set. Things like in the diner, there's a little ceramic fish head, it says 'fishing money,' and it's got a little slot for tips that you put in there. And then he bought the wall charts that have fish on them. You could them in the diner. We thought that Tom (Viggo's character) would be a fishing guy, even though we don't see him doing it in the movie. So that led him then to start buying fish shirts for everybody. But he's so sweet and sensitive about it that no one ever felt that there toes were buying stepped on. And he's also totally fine if you say, 'No, I don't think this should be on the set. I don't this character would have that.' He would be fine with that too."
Our pals over at Kryptonsite, they've got four new video clips from the season premiere, and fresh spoilers about the season's seventh episode, "Splinter."
There's a fresh set report over at Hollywood North Report, which includes photos of the massive Golden Gate Bridge recreation, with possible plot spoilers.
According to Batman-On-Film, we may be able to stop using the placeholder title. "Batman Attacks" or "Batman Strikes" are both being weighed as the moniker for the next movie. An insider also told the site that the "film is further along than people think. Hell, you've got actors (and their agents) scrambling to get a role in the sequel -- it's going to be huge! Just look at all the talk about casting The Joker already. There are a lot of actors that covet that role. From what I've heard, Nolan [director Christopher] and Goyer [screenwriter David] knew what they wanted to do in the sequel before 'BATMAN BEGINS' was filmed. I know that Nolan hasn't signed on, yet, but that is just a matter of time. This is why you are hearing about cast candidates and possible screentests. Things are lined up so that when that [Nolan returning] does happen, they'll be ready to roll. There is no doubt that they have their ducks in a row."

Emerson Made's "American Neo-Gothic" Home
I've long been a fan of Emerson Made's line of clothing and accessories but this peek into their home and certified organic farm by Boston Magazine made me fall in love with them even more.
The couple behind the brand moved from the bustle of New York into a light filled farmhouse in New Hampshire. The creativity, simplicity and attention to detail that makes their line great extends into the way they have restored and furnished their beautiful home from the refinished pine floors to the stacks of vintage books and unique antique store finds that furnish the space.
Check out the full piece over at Boston Home.
On a side note Emerson Made has a beautiful line of table linens that you can custom monogram.

For more than a year, Cathy Day felt as if her Brooklyn Park home were teetering on the brink of disaster.
A developer had excavated as many as 500 truckloads of dirt from the vacant lot next door beforeabandoning the property -- and leaving a sheer, 40-foot cliff less than 10 feet from Day's home. The exposed roots from Day's hedges dangled from the earth.
"Sometimes friends, after driving by on Ritchie Highway, would call us all worried that our house was going to fall," Day said."Every time the weatherman would call for hurricanes and showers, we would wonder, too."
