Between wildfires, earthquakes, race riots and a debilitating recession, the city of illusion has been looking a little sad of late. So there is a palpable cheer around Hollywood now that the highest paid actress in the world -- for the moment -- is back in town, generating all kinds of economic activity, grist for the professional gossips and old-fashioned movie star incandescence.
Two years after she made her last film and fell into a tabloid twilight zone over her personal life, Julia Roberts is starring in three new productions, the first of which is Alan J. Pakula's adaptation of John Grisham's legal thriller "The Pelican Brief," opening on Friday.
Her face is all over billboards and bus stops this month, the dark, tentative eyes of a woman who is on the run from bad guys in the movie and predatory paparazzi in real life.
At present, she is somewhere in the fortress of International Creative Management, where her agents are giving her last-minute tips on what not to say to a reporter. Which is a bit incongruous, because she has spent the last month and a half trying to learn how to ask questions like a reporter, in the role she is now filming as a Chicago newspaper writer opposite Nick Nolte in "I Love Trouble."
(Tip to Ms. Roberts: Always carry an extra set of batteries for your tape recorder and never believe what publicists say, especially if it's off the record.)
A wall to the office of the I.C.M. agent Elaine Goldsmith slides open -- a very secretive, James Bond kind of door -- and there is Ms. Roberts, in cutoffs, moccasins and modified ponytail, all of 26 years old. Her agents disappear, the sun goes down, and for the next two and a half hours she talks about life as a media caricature and as a new bride to the singer Lyle Lovett. The formerly reticent star seems eager to talk.
Considering that she has been working 12-hour days virtually nonstop for the last half-year, she looks, well . . . vibrant. Her skin is as clear as one of those High Sierra streams where the rare golden trout still swim, and her legs stretch from here to eternity. She volunteers a hair color -- chestnut -- to describe the mane that drove men crazy in "Pretty Woman," the film that made her a global star with more than $400 million in worldwide ticket sales.
One of only a handful of actors who can make or break studio heads, Ms. Roberts is now getting more than $8 million a picture. That sort of price comes with the status of being able to "open" a movie, which means that no matter how bad the film may be, enough people will buy tickets in the first few days of its release to guarantee cost recovery. But the downside is that she exists at a celebrity level where gas station attendants are supposed to care about the tiniest details of her personal life. In that sense, she is both a victim of all the hyper-press that reached a frenzy when she canceled her wedding to the actor Kiefer Sutherland two years ago -- and a beneficiary.
"They say I can open movies, and that's nice in that it puts it into people's minds that women can do it," she said, her legs curled in a chair. "It's not just Kevin Costner, not just Arnold Schwarzenegger. Not just the guys."
She is less comfortable with the public-property aspect of her rarefied status.
"People talk about this Julia Roberts almost like it's a thing, almost like it's a cup of Pepsi," she said. "People think Julia Roberts is something they created. The fact is, 26 years ago there was this scrunched up little pink baby named Julia Roberts." She was actually born Julie, but never mind. "I am a girl," she said, "like anybody else."
Her father, who died when she was 9, was a vacuum cleaner salesmen, and her mother was church secretary. At home, they staged and acted in plays, infusing the three Roberts children with a love of entertaining. She was only a few years out of high school in Smyrna, Ga., when the modest 1988 film "Mystic Pizza" made her a celebrity of the promising variety. It took some getting used to.
"I was in the bathroom somewhere, and this girl followed me and said, 'Excuse me, girl in stall No. 1.'
"I said, 'Yeaaah?'
"She said, 'You were in Mystic Pizza.'
"I said, 'Yeah?'
"She said, 'Can I have your autograph?'
"I said, 'I'm a little tied up right now.' "
For her next film, "Steel Magnolias," Ms. Roberts received an Academy Award nomination. The director of that movie, Herbert Ross, has since criticized her work as one-dimensional, suggesting she should take formal acting lessons. She fired back, but has now decided to call a truce.
Another Oscar nomination came with "Pretty Woman," the fairy-tale story of a Hollywood hooker who spends the weekend with Richard Gere. It was followed by "Sleeping With the Enemy," where she is brutalized by an obsessive husband. Some critics laughed at the premise, but the film drew a huge audience. Then came "Dying Young," a disappointment, and "Hook," which was widely dismissed as a mess, though the blame was laid on the director, Steven Spielberg.
In 1991, Ms. Roberts went through what Ms. Goldsmith refers to as her "Fellini summer," in which she was variously reported to have had a nervous breakdown, been on drugs and romanced several men, all the while feuding with Mr. Spielberg on the set of "Hook." None of it was true, Ms. Roberts said. She played Tinkerbell, but some of the gossip columns referred to her as Tinkerhell.
It was not her most pleasant acting experience; much of the time she was strapped into what she calls "industrial bicycle shorts," which was hooked up to a wire so she could fly. When they shrunk her for the film, she looked at times like a confused horsefly.
"I felt like I had a nice rapport with Steven, yet his depiction of it makes me feel like I'm mistaken," she said with a sigh. "I guess that's just too bad. You know, it may be too much to ask to be in a harness and creative at the same time."
Now, with a cushion of rest between her and that summer, she says she is not at all bitter or angry.
"What people perceive that summer to be is for me a tale of fiction spun way out of control," she said. Yes, she was going to marry Kiefer Sutherland on the Fox Studio lot and three days before the wedding called it off. From then on, her every footstep was monitored, analyzed, speculated upon.
The last two years, she said, "have been two of the most incredible years of my life." She traveled extensively, read more books than screenplays, nurtured old friendships, and -- six months ago -- married Mr. Lovett, a Texas crooner with an original haircut.
"He's really a tremendous man, and he's shown a great deal of courage in marrying me," she said, a dimpled smile spreading across her face. Ms. Roberts said he has had to endure the glare of the public eye. "That's part and parcel of my life, and he's done it with great, distinguishing effort." The butt of jokes that compare him to Woody Woodpecker and sustain David Letterman monologues, Mr. Lovett, 36, has also found a wider audience for his music.
"We're pretending to be a normal couple," Ms. Roberts said. "We get up in the morning and go to our jobs. He goes to the studio to cut a record, I go to the studio to make a movie." On Thanksgiving, she cooked a turkey in Los Angeles for his family, who came up from Texas.
They consider New York home. "We can be walking down Sixth Avenue early in the morning and people will come by and say, 'Hey, congratulations!' But then there are people who talk about my wedding dress looking like a tablecloth, too."
Her role model in the celebrity game is another New Yorker -- Jacqueline Onassis. "How this woman has kept her composure, with what the tabloid shows have done to John F. Kennedy, is unbelievable," she said. "This woman is nobility personified."
By contrast, Ms. Roberts has to fight her own sense of defiance and outrage. "I've become very irate watching the news," she said. "It has gotten so bad here in L.A. The other night, they kept running these blurbs: Tonight at 11, Kiefer Sutherland responds to 'Pretty Woman' 's talk with Barbara Walters. They were setting this up to such a point I started to get nervous. And of course it was just a clip from Kiefer's press junket of 'Three Musketeers,' him commenting on the state of publicity."
She works with Denzel Washington, the actor best known for his appearance last year as "Malcolm X," in "The Pelican Brief." He plays a dignified, heroic investigative reporter who follows up her character's theory about the assassination of Supreme Court justices. Mr. Pakula said it was Ms. Roberts's idea to cast Mr. Washington, who also stars with Tom Hanks in "Philadelphia," which opens later this month.
In "The Pelican Brief," Ms. Roberts plays a Tulane law student named Darby Shaw, the girlfriend of an alcoholic professor played by Sam Shepard. In the book, Mr. Grisham introduced Darby's character this way: "For two brutal years now, one of the few pleasures of law school had been to watch as she graced the halls and rooms with her long legs and baggy sweaters. There was a fabulous body in there somewhere, they could tell. But she was not one to flaunt it."
Nor does Mr. Pakula flaunt it. "The Pelican Brief" makes only minimal use of the physical attributes of the star. Instead the movie follows a tangled plot, bound by a long, conspiratorial rope.
Mr. Pakula owned the rights to the book even before it was written, he said. Ms. Roberts agreed to do the part after reading galleys. Filming in New Orleans and Washington last summer was as close to a perfect experience as she has had in show business.
"I'm telling you, this was a dream," she said. "Everybody. Denzel, Sam, Alan. You feel justified in holding out for something that pays off."
Mr. Pakula, who has directed such stars as Warren Beatty, Harrison Ford, Robert Redford and Dustin Hoffman, said he found it very easy to work with Ms. Roberts.
"She gave everything," said Mr. Pakula. "By the end, she had earned the respect of the entire crew. Julia responds to the other actors, which is what the best people do."
She is midway through filming "I Love Trouble," a romantic comedy about rival Chicago newspaper reporters. In the movie, which is an attempt to re-create some of the sexual tension of films like "Woman of the Year," with Spencer Tracy and Katharine Hepburn, Ms. Roberts trades one-liners with a crusty, older newspaperman, played by Mr. Nolte. Of course, this sort of thing goes on all the time in the newspaper business.
Like other actresses who have played opposite Mr. Nolte, Ms. Roberts has had to get used to his sometimes crude behavior. "From the moment I met him we sort of gave each other a hard time," she said, "and naturally we get on each other's nerves." While he can be "completely charming and very nice," she said, "he's also completely disgusting. He's going to hate me for saying this, but he seems go out of his way to repel people. He's a kick."
Charles Shyer, who is directing the film, is aglow over working with Ms. Roberts. "We were looking at film the other day and our editor said, 'She's got it,' " said Mr. Shyer. "I think Julia would have been a movie star in the 30's, 40's, in any era. There is a magic there with her. You just go, 'Wow -- this is what it is all about.' And she looks unbelievably great. We wanted her to be very stylish, like Julia hasn't looked in any other movie."
A THIRD NEW FILM, "MARY Reilly," a period movie based on Valerie Martin's novel about a maidservant to Dr. Jekyll (of Mr. Hyde fame), is set for production next spring. (Think "The Remains of the Day" meets "Frankenstein" in the 1800's.) Stephen Frears, the British film maker whose work ranges from "My Beautiful Laundrette" to "Dangerous Liaisons," will direct. For those critics who say Ms. Roberts tends to play wide-eyed victims in mainstream films, a prestigious project like "Mary Reilly" will throw them a curve, she says. "It's not exactly a day at the Venice Mall," she said.
Ms. Roberts has been somewhat typecast by "Pretty Woman," a character who is most appealing when her hair is big and her laugh is deep. Such pigeonholing doesn't bother her. "I started out being Julia-Eric Roberts-Sister," she said. "Then I was Julia-Mystic Pizza-Roberts. So getting saddled with 'Pretty Woman' is not the worst moment of my life."
Nor is she upset by criticism from feminists who say she glorified prostitution in the movie. "What are you going to do? You can't please everybody. That movie was a fairy tale. We did everything but put a glass slipper on. And I'll tell you something else: For $3,000 a weekend, Richard Gere got a bargain."
The pressure on Ms. Roberts will begin to build again with "Pelican Brief" opening this week. "Unless you open with a huge first weekend, they say you're a flop," she said. "It's unfair to a lot of movies."
She passed on "Sleepless in Seattle," which boosted the star status of Meg Ryan. But she says she has no regrets. The same hold true for the last two years.
"I'm not a big regretter," she said. "I always say, 'Worries many. Regrets none.' "

Sacrament Of Repentance
and Confession
The Sacrament of Repentance and Confession is a holy sacrament, by which the sinner returns to God, confessing his sins before the priest to be absolved by the priest through the authority granted to him by God. By this absolution the confessing person is granted the forgiveness of those sins which he confessed.
Confession means admitting and declaring a certain matter. The Sacrament of Confession means verbal confession before the priest of sins and mistakes committed by a person, and confessing and humbly repenting, in order to be granted the absolution and forgiveness. Our
Lord Jesus Christ founded the Sacrament of Repentance and Confession when He said to His disciples, the pure apostles:
"Assuredly, I say to you, whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth, will be loosed in heaven" (Matthew 18:18).
Also, after the Resurrection the Lord said : "'As the Father sent me, I also send you.' And when He said this He breathed on them, and said to them, 'Receive the Holy Spirit. If you forgive the sins of any, they are forgiven them, if you retain the sins of any they are retained'" (John 20:21-23).
By this He gave them the authority of binding sins or loosing them, through the authority given to them by the Holy Spirit, and according to the contriteness of the confessing person.
Conditions of Repentance
Contrite heart and remorse for previous sins, Steadfast intention to improve, Strong faith in Christ and hope in His love to forgive, Verbal confession of sins before the priest.
Right Age for Confession
Parents must teach their children about the Sacrament of Confession from an early age, say, about twelve years old, so they may be acquainted from childhood with the Sacrament, for as the proverb says: "Teaching in childhood is like engraving on rocks".
In the book of Ecclesiology entitled 'The Precious Diamond' by John Bin Elsabaa, is written the below mentioned text. In its time, it was adhered to and considered most beneficial :

Since its release in January of 2018, the Zibo 737 mod has become a plane people like to compare to the likes of the study level PMDG NGX. The Zibo mod has even set the quality bar for other payware aircraft in X-Plane. Throughout its uprising, the mod received a custom FMS and systems, FMOD (3D) sounds, a custom flight model, a tablet & terrain radar, scimitar winglets, revamped textures, and a stretch into a 737-900. The best part, it's all free! Not a single penny leaves your wallet (unless you're kind enough to donate to them of course). It's too good to be true, and that's not even the end of it. The 737 Ultimate Project stretched the 737 into a 737-900, but they're also working on making it into a 737-700, and the 737 MAX family.

Crickhowell named as Best High Street in the UK
We've always known there was something special about Crickhowell, which is why we've had a branch in this picturesque part of the Brecon Beacons. The team are also celebrating as interest in this wonderful town has increased since it was named as boasting the best high street in the UK.
Being one of the last towns in the UK to be free of major retailors, the high street is full of independent shops and beautiful boutiques, and even boasts Wales' first zero waste shop, Natural Weigh. As you wander around you are met with a wonderful blend of historic shop fronts, but it wasn't just this that caught the judges' eyes. The Great British High Street Award judges were also swayed by the strong sense of community that's alive and kicking in Crickhowell.
"Crickhowell is a fantastic example of a community that has made huge strides in transforming its high street. The town's tourism website advertises the high street as one of the 'few shopping streets left' in Wales, where 'local businesses selling local produce recall a long-lost era when all high streets reflected the character of their town'," said awards judge, Hemlata Narasimhan.
We often feature many of the wonderful events happening in this vibrant town and our team are always keen to participate, especially where fancy dress is involved.
One thing you may not know if you're not local to the area is that the residents recently came together to prevent a national brewery taking over their local pub, or stop it being turned into a supermarket. Instead, the residents spent 10 months raising the funds to buy the pub to ensure it remains part of the community, and have since created three more locally run shops.
Chloe Masefield, owner Natural Weigh, said: "It's an amazing achievement for the town. To be recognised as a small town with such a fantastic high street across the whole of the UK is fantastic. One of the reasons we moved here was because of the community spirit in the town. The support we have had from other businesses has been great, and that's why we opened here.
The town also fought back against a supermarket opening, which allowed shops like mine to open up, as the town supports independent local businesses. This award is great motivation for the town moving forward and recognises the fantastic work that goes on everyday."

Edward V. Szofer President, Co-founder & CEO,Rao Tummalapalli, Managing Director & Co-founder, Swaminathan Mani Directo,r & Co-founderWith the advent of internet related technologies, today, enterprises in huge numbers are shifting to the cloud environment along with an exponential growth in deploying intrinsic enterprise mobility. The transformation in the technology of mobile devices and operating systems in the cloud demands for an effective software to be functional. Agile software development that is essential today, calls for a team of highly talented design engineers, software developers and testers to develop solutions for these various devices and environments. Successful partnership with expert IT service providers who can deliver robust solutions to manage the challenges would be essential and key to success and productivity. The founders of Oak Brook, IL based SenecaGlobal have over two decades of experience in building global teams that can deliver software in a collaborative process. "We leverage the deep expertise of our U.S based CTOs and CIOs who act as true advisors in developing complex software and testing solutions for serving mid-market companies and independent software vendors," explains SenecaGlobal's President, Co-founder & CEO, Edward V. Szofer.
The company provides efficient IT services and leading edge software solutions for clients, around the clock, irrespective of the geographical areas of operation. "By offering the right people, processes and collaboration tools, the time zone difference can be effectively leveraged, enabling a 24/7 software development or testing cycle," says Rao Tummalapalli, Managing Director and Co-founder, SenecaGlobal. The firm's SmartSourcing services help clients manage the entire lifecycle from cost effective software and application development to quality assurance and solutions for maintenance, integration and modernization along with extending a customizable IT help desk support. "We facilitate work completion with high performing smaller teams and offer services with direct supervision," states Swaminathan Mani, SenecaGlobal Director and Co-founder.
In addition to IT services, the firm possesses the capability to develop new and sophisticated software that can be leveraged according to client requirements.
SmartSourcing services for mid-market, with agility and quality built in
SenecaGlobal has great expertise in developing enterprise mobility solutions not only for the mobile devices but also for trendy wearable devices like the hi-tech watches and has partnered with larger organizations like Samsung.To deal with the ever increasing deployment of BYOD and to enable data access from multiple sources, the firm's solutions help organizations to manage a variety of environments replete with myriad of products such as iPhones, Samsung Notepads, PCs and Apple computers.
The company's mastery in providing well organized IT services has helped many mid-market enterprises to solve critical issues. In an instance, an IT consulting and software solution provider's integrated resource management system had limited features and reach, which SenecaGlobal helped re-write entirely into an enterprise solution that can provide the flexibility of customization as per end client's needs. SenecaGlobal successfully re-engineered the Windows based application and transformed it into a web-based, enterprise solution for warehouse, asset and emergency management suite of product which resulted in increased operational efficiency, effectiveness and revenue.
The company is unique in its focus on the middle market and ISV business segment—a segment which the large international IT services providers do not serve well and are not organized to do so. SenecaGlobal is. It has continuously invested in its people, processes, and infrastructure towards better serving its targeted client base. SenecaGlobal is planning to expand its geographic reach into the west coast and the pacific north-west regions alongside its already world class development center in Hyderabad, India. "Our new projects promise improved capabilities and services to internet and independent software vendors in the coming days," concludes Szofer.

Kurta pyjama is a traditional clothing wore by men in Afghanistan, Bangladesh, India, Pakistan, Nepal, and Sri Lanka. Kurta pajama being the most common clothing has become style statement for modern Indian males. Though mostly worn on semi-formal and formal occasions such as Diwali, Eid and various religious ceremonies, Kurta pajama can also be worn casually. Sherwani is the formal attire for men where as kurta depending on its look can be wore at casual or formal events.
It is a loose shirt falling either just above or somewhere below the knees. It comes with loose-fitting pajama or shalwar with draw string at the waist. The sleeves of a traditional kurta fall straight to the wrist; they do not narrow, as do many Western-cut sleeves. Kurta pyjama generally comes in soft cotton fabric as it is comfortable loose fitting dress. Latest fashion in kurta are available in fabrics such as brocade, silk and jamawar.
Traditional forms of kurta do not have a collar. Modern variants may feature stand-up collars of the type known to tailors and seamstresses as "mandarin" collars. These are the same sort of collars of achkans, sherwanis, and Nehru jackets. Conventional kurta pajama has undergone cosmetic change to suit taste of new modern style. Men's kurta pajama today comes with a wide variety of necklines with novel and unique designs and embroidery to suit your taste. Kurta style also differs a bit per region and thus called Bhopali kurta, Hyderabadi kurta or Lucknovi kurta.
Kurta pyjama Trivia
Formal kurtas pajama are usually custom-made by South Asian tailors.They work with fabric, their customers bring to them. South Asian tailors command a vast repertoire of methods, traditional and modern, for decorating fabric. However, the most common decoration is embroidery. Many light summer kurtas feature Chikan embroidery, a specialty of Lucknow, around the hems and front opening. This embroidery is typically executed on light, semi-transparent fabric in a matching thread. The effect is ornate but subtle. Shop for casual-wear or party-wear kurta pajamas as well as pathani suits with different fabrics and designs at discounted prices.

What is Isobooster insulation?
Isobooster is an innovative, high-quality, multi-layer insulation foil, made up of multiple layers of aluminium foil alternated with air cushions. Its unique insulating effect is based on thermal reflection. Unlike the thick insulation materials that absorb heat, Isobooster reflects the heat and cold. It is a patented Dutch invention, produced in the EU.
You can use Isobooster anywhere: in new buildings or renovation projects, for the insulation of roofs, interior walls, cavity walls and floors.
Isobooster insulation foil in a nutshell
Easy and safe insulation
Isobooster insulation foil is thin (starting from 24mm) and light weight (350gr/m2), making it easy to process by yourself. No expensive or complicated tools are needed to install the foil. When insulation with Isobooster no harmful fibres or dust are released (unlike most other insulation materials such as rock wool or glass wool).
Economical energy saving
The unprecedented high insulation value (Rc = 10) of our insulation foil ensures immediate savings on your energy bill. Whereas conventional insulation only stops (and absorbs) heat, Isobooster insulation foil reflects hot air back into the room. This allows you to use the heat in your home much more efficiently.
Durable and environmentally friendly
Isobooster insulation is a highly durable material that can easily be recycled after demolition or replacement. As it is extremely thin and lightweight (especially compared to conventional insulation materials like glass wool or rock wool), it reduces the environmental impact of transport.
Technical specifications
Isobooster insulation foil is available in four thicknesses: (installation thickness ranging from 48 mm to 144 mm), supplied on rolls of 1.2 m in width and 12.5 m in length. You will find more detailed information in our technical specifications. The stated R values are based on the NEN-EN-ISO 6946 standard. New tests based on NEN-ISO 9869-1:2014* show even higher insulation values:

One of the new features in the recently announced VMware vSphere 5 is Profile-Driven Storage. Duncan Epping has a great blog post that explains how the new feature works. Combined with the vSphere Storage APIs for Storage Awareness (VASA), this feature makes it easier to find an appropriate datastore when provisioning or moving a VM.
VASA allows a storage array to export information about its configuration, such as RAID level, replication, or the presence of solid-state drive (SSD) storage. The storage administrator can then create profiles based on these capabilities. For example, "Gold" datastores may have RAID 10 with replication, while "Silver" datastores are unreplicated RAID-6 LUNs. When it's time to provision a VM, the user interface allows the administrator to assign a storage profile and limit the available choices to datastores matching that profile. This decision can also be driven by nontechnical considerations, such as organizational ownership; for example, some datastores could be tagged for test and development use.
Profile-Driven Storage is just one of the storage enhancements available in vSphere 5. Storage is clearly a pain-point for VM deployments, and VMware is actively trying to find solutions that will help its customers. Classifying and providing more information about the available storage is a good thing, but it's not a complete solution. VASA and the UI enhancements are tools that help manage the complexity of legacy storage, but do not eliminate it.
The storage requirements of a VM should be properties of the VM itself, not of the datastore it resides on. Virtual machine administrators must be able to define criteria like data protection levels, application performance requirements, or performance isolation (for multitenancy) on a VM basis. At that point, the storage array should implement the desired behavior, independent of what datastore holds the VM's data. If the administrator doesn't initially understand the VM's requirements (as is often the case), the storage should automatically adapt, rather than require an explicit transfer to a different tier.
The Tintri VMstore provides a single datastore with both top-tier Flash-based performance for VMs that require it, and inexpensive SATA storage for VMs that don't. As we roll out new features like replication, our VM-aware file system will allow us to target individual VMs within that datastore rather than requiring a data-placement decision to also become a capability decision. Our approach eliminates the need to set up and configure multiple tiers of storage, and instead provides a single flexible datastore that automatically adapts to application requirements.
In the long run, we believe this is the only way to manage the complexity of VM storage. Technologies like Storage DRS are a step in the right direction—from individual storage arrays to pools of storage that are automatically managed. But matching storage resources to VM behavior can best be done by a VM-aware storage system, which understands and adapts to the requirements of virtualized applications.
Unique control with VM-level actions for infrastructure functions including snapshots, replication and QoS make protection and performance certain in production, and accelerate test and development cycles.

3d printing is the future of all manufacturing... *crickets*... yeah, pretty much what I thought. It's a great technique for low volume parts, and the advances in materials science in the subject area have yielded some spectacular results.
One of the biggest draw backs to using 3d printed anything really, is that the layered approach produces many fault lines which severely limits the strength of a 3d printed object.
But what if... we could take that inherent weakness and turn it into a strength?
How could we do this?
Put simply, the wonder material known as graphene. I'm guessing we have a matter of months before some research facility layers their 3d printed models with graphene to produce 3d components with incredible directional strength. Combine this with a mixed material approach and you can easily print off layered multi material composites, where the core of the part/item/sheet/feature is a light weight space holding material, while the structural integrity of the part is a high strength alloy/graphene composite coating the exterior. Best of all? This can all be done on one machine! and the process is damn near infinitely configurable with negligible time differences in setup time.
I wish I had billions so I could invest in this.

Janusz Prud, is a Polish SVD (Divine World Missionary brother) living in Botswana. In a village in which he had been residing for the last two years he decided to build up a nursery. This is what he says about the idea:
In the 1990s HIV/AIDS epidemic became an African tragedy but most importantly a challenge to combat disease and to aid its victims. Botswana is one of the countries suffering the most from the epidemic. Circa 37% of the 1.6 million inhabitants are HIV careers. In the 1990s Botswana was occupying first place on the world list of infections and mortalities caused by AIDS. The number of orphans is growing rapidly. Statistic data from 2006 shows that 140 thousand of children in the range age 0-14 lives with HIV. At the same time, the number of children who due to AIDS lost at least one of their parents reached the number of 120 thousand. Deaths resulting from AIDS amounted to 180 thousand.
It is important to notice that the orphan issue had been nothing new to the local community. Yet, their number – growing so rapidly – became a problem which is difficult to understand and to accept by the traditional society of Botswana. Families, which in the past had been responsible for fostering orphans, in the face of the AIDS epidemic, have strong difficulties – both moral and financial – with taking care over growing number of children. Often elderly who themselves require assistance become the only caregiver for a number of children.
The project of building nursery and running an orphans' daycare aims to assist children in obtaining good education both in the local language and in English – an official language of Botswana. It is especially important to teach English from the very early age, as schooling at all levels is provided in that language. In the area where the project is situated people are usually using local languages: Kalanga and Setswana. In Tutume, with its population of 14 thousand, there are only few nurseries. Usually they offer education in local languages.
The project objective is to offer appropriate educational conditions, food provisions and care for orphans as well as children coming from the "high risk families". In line with the governmental recommendation the nursery will have integrating character – it will be attended by children coming from full families as well as orphans and half-orphans. Governmental strategy for combating HIV/AIDS includes building nursery institutions in order to prevent isolation of children disadvantage by the disease. The priority is to involve representatives of local communities (for instance local teachers) in the provision of daycare. Through this, children will have ensured contact with a local culture and tradition. In African context building European style orphanages is not recommended as it contradicts local values.
We assisted brother Janusz with writing a successful application for the Polish MFA Small Grants Fund. The application was made through the Polish Embassy in Pretoria, South Africa. It received funding required and the nursery is already built!

Would you return to a supermarket which sold you a piece of fruit which after one day went mouldy? What if a pair of shoes you bought came apart after one wear? Typically if this ever happened to us as consumers we would avoid the supplier with immediate effect.
This is why it is critical when launching any new product that the stability is thoroughly checked to ensure the success of that product. When it comes to agrochemical products common problems can include:
- Settled solids
- Discolouration
- Odours
- Blowing bottles
All of these can be evidence of poor product stability – in a liquid product reactions can take place either between the constituents or due to biological activity which can cause something to go wrong with the product.
If multiple bottles blow inside boxes on a pallet this can cause the pallet to deform, possibly even break apart resulting in loose bottles and potentially leaking liquid which creates a hazard for the transport company and most likely mean that the product will be rejected by the end customer.
If the customers' customer ends up getting unstable products which they cannot use or don't want to use this can cause reputational damage and affect the business of both parties. The seller of the product and the manufacturer.
Due to all of this it is important to undertake stability trials of new products before sending them out to market, to make sure they are stable. In general terms you could carry out the following:
- a cold temperature trial
- an ambient temperature trial
- a tank mix trial and accelerated storage testing
On the basis of a successful test regime you can then have confidence that your product is fit for sale!
Grotech Production have carried out various types of stability trials, our experienced laboratory technicians are on hand to help and guide you through the trials – Click here to send us a message, or call +44 (0) 1405 761746 to talk to our team today.

Zite is a personalised feed reader released by Zite.
"Zite is a free personalized magazine for your TouchPad that automatically learns what you like and gets smarter every time you use it. Zite delivers all the great news, articles, blogs, and videos you want—and helps you discover new stuff that you'll love."
When you open the app you are giving a list of categories to select from. Once you have selected these Zite will gather the information from the various feeds that it pulls from and builds a virtual magazine of articles for you to read.
You can also link Zite to your Twitter, Delicious or Read It Later accounts to help build a better magazine for you.
Each of the categories are show as seperate sections, however, you will also be given a Top Stories section. This is based on the categories you selected to start with, but will start to use your reading habits to continue building on it.
The sections normally contain eight to ten pages of articles with around five articles on each of the pages. The page will show the headlight or the image from the story, it will also show in small font the hours since it was posted and the source of the article.
Tap on the article and it pulls up a new card which you can read then and there, or leave and continue looking through the main Zite sections.
The reading experience is generally good, there is a web link if you wish to see on the source website. On the side of the article page is the personalisation side of Zite were if becomes different from other readers.
You can select if you liked the article or not, if you want more from that source or writer (if known) and then the tags of the articles, so if you are looking at a Touchpad article you will get options like Touchpad, webOS etc.
The user interface is very nice. I would have liked some more options or preferences within Zite, but you do have some control over text and font.
I have used the Zite application on iOS and this application is very similar indeed to that experience.
One issue with Zite Top Stories section is that it tries to be too clever at times. Once it learnt something from your selection it keeps long term, and you cannot get it to forget it. If you give looking at a section, but had clicked on some sources or tags in the past Zite will still feed you the information. You need to tell it you hate the articles to get rid of them. (Not so great if you had the Pets feed and your dog dies…)
On the upside:
- Nice User Interface
- Great Personalisation on offer.
On the downside:
- Lacking preferences, I would have liked to have been able to clear Zites "learning".
- Zite controls the content you see, so you may miss something by not looking at the feeds.
Overall, this is a great way to look at lots of information on the internet without being overwhelmed. I like to keep up to date with Tech and Gadget news and this application could help me do it. I would like to be able to edit the learning Zite makes, but in the main it functions well. If you like to personalise your reading Zite is well worth a download, especially as it is Free.

The Royal Scots Fusiliers history dates back to 1678 when it was raised by Charles Erskine, de jure 5th Earl of Mar (de jure indicates the earldom fell into dispute with the crown after Alexander Stewart forcibly captured and married Isabel Douglas, the Countess of Mar in 1404). As was the tradition at the time the Regiment was named after its colonel as 'The Earl of Mar's Regiment' and nicknamed 'the Duke O'Mars Greybreeks'.
The Regiment saw its first action in 1679 at the Battle of Bothwell Bridge when it helped to put down the Covenanter Rebellion which formed following the restoration of King Charles II. Presbyterian ministers who refused to accept the rule of bishops were ejected from their parishes by the crown and took up arms in rebellion.
Charles II died suddenly in 1685 and was succeeded by his unpopular brother James II who was quickly plunged into suppressing mounting discontent, during the Monmouth rebellion of 1685. James Scott the 1st Duke of Monmouth (the illegitimate son of Charles II and the King's nephew) unsuccessfully attempted to overthrow the unpopular King. The Regiment was once again in action on home soil during this time, suppressing a force raised by the Earl of Argyle in Scotland to support James Scott's claim to the throne.
In 1686 the Regiment was armed with the 'Fusil' muskets, the most modern weapon of the day, instead of matchlock muskets becoming 'The Scots Fusiliers Regiment of Foot' and brought into the English Army in 1689. The Regiment went on to serve during the War of the Spanish Succession (1704-1714) fighting at the Battles of Schellenberg, Blenheim, Ramillies, Oudenarde, Malplaquet and at the great Siege of Lille. The Regiment was granted the Royal title in 1712 to become 'The Royal Scots Fusiliers Regiment'.
The Regiment went on to serve during the War of the Austrian Succession (1740–48) fighting at the Battles of Dettingen, Fontenoy and Val. The Regiment was once again involved in action on the home front in 1745, when Bonnie Prince Charlie (the grandson of James II) attempted to regain the lost crown to the Stuart family by raising the Scottish clans into rebellion and fought at the Battle of Culloden.
In 1750 the Regimental namely system was simplified with each assigned a ranked number, therefore the Regiment became The 21st (Royal North British) Fusiliers. The term 'North British' was an attempt by the Hanoverian Government to eliminate the name Scotland after the 1707 Act of Union.
The 21st was deployed to the West Indies during the French Revolutionary Wars (1792– 1802) where it captured the important French trading Islands of Martinique and Guadalupe. In 1814 during the Napoleonic Wars the 21st was part of Sir Thomas Graham's unsuccessful attempt to capture Bergen-op-Zoom in Holland. The Regiment also served during The Alexandria expedition of 1807 briefly capturing Alexandria from the Ottoman-French allegiance.
Following the defeat of Napoleon the Regiment was dispatched to America to curb the expansionist ambitions of the United States, which tried to annex Canada during the war of 1812 (1812-1815). The War was a 32-month military conflict between the United States and the British Empire, resolving many of the remaining issues of the American War of Independence. The Regiment fought at the Battle of Bladensburg, the capture of Washington and the unsuccessful attempt to capture New Orleans.
The Regiment was once again dispatched to the West Indies in 1819 and remained there until 1827 suppressing rebels in the Maihaca District of Demerara. After a brief return to Britain, the 21st embarked for Australia in 1832 guarding convicts and was stationed in Tasmania, Perth and Western Australia until 1833. The 21st also served during the Crimean War (1853 –1856) fighting at the Battles of Alma, Inkermann, the Siege of Sevastopol, and the assault on the Redan.
In 1881 The Childers Reforms restructured the British army infantry Regiments into a network of multi-battalion Regiments of two regular and two militia battalions. The Regiment managed to avoid amalgamation under these reforms unlike many other Regiments but the order of precedence was dropped to become The Royal Scots Fusiliers. The Regiment went on to serve during the Boer War (1899-1902) fighting at the Relief of Ladysmith and two World Wars.
In 1959, The Royal Scots Fusiliers was amalgamated with The Highland Light Infantry to become the Royal Highland Fusiliers (Princess Margaret's Own Glasgow and Ayrshire Regiment). In 2006 the Regiment was further merged with The Royal Scots Borderers, The Black Watch, The Highlanders, and The Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders to form the Royal Regiment of Scotland.
