Central Metro Station operates with Solar Power
Central Metro Station operates with Solar Power
Central Metro is one of the largest Underground station which acts as a hub connecting to some important centers if city such as Anna Salai and Koyambedu and also in International Airport of Chennai. Green energy adaptation installed in the Central Metro is very first kind inside the city's main transportation connection.
This solar energy is said to operate some at the secondary units of the station and also for some of the train's operations. So the Chennai Metro Rail Limited CMRL has requested Vendors for installing roof-top solar panels at the entry point of Chennai Central Metro.
Photovoltaic panels at a capacity of around 1MW are installed at either sides of the Poonamalle High Road linked to the entry points of the station. This work as trial basis and primarily used in energizing Lights, Escalators, Elevators and for Air-conditioning inside the premises of the metro station. CMRL is the best usage of this type of green energy (Natural energy) which will reduce some of the expenses related to power capacity and plays a major role in controlling pollution.
Chennai Central has a three-level transit hub connecting two corridors of the Phase-1 section of the station. The upper track is said lead to Koyambedu-Poonamalle links from Central whereas the lower tracks will connect central metro to Annasalai-Airport stretch. The third of the hub is said to directly link to Koyambedu and Airport Metro stations divided according the needs of the Commuters.
CMRL stated that a 1.4 Lakh Square Meters of area in 25 various locations installing Solar Panels for the Metro Project. This Solar panel installation is said to save more than Rs 1.12 Crore every year for CMRL.

|Revision Date:

|Approved by:
T. Dwayne McCay
Federal regulations applicable to sponsored research at colleges and universities (2 CFR 200.430, "Compensation – Personal Services") require each institution maintain internal controls to ensure emuneration paid under sponsored programs are reasonable, conform to established written policies consistently applied to Federal and non-Federal activities and maintain standards for documentation of these expenses.
Florida Institute of Technology (Florida Tech) uses an effort reporting system to provide a reasonable basis for distributing salary charges among institutional activities. Since Effort Reports are the source documents to support salary charges to sponsored projects, it is essential the data be based on reasonable estimates of actual effort expended on each sponsored project and non-sponsored or Florida Tech-funded accounts.
Effort Reporting Policy
Florida Tech is fully committed to accurate and timely effort reporting.
In preparing applications for sponsored programs, principal investigators (PIs) are expected to provide reasonable estimates of the effort necessary for themselves and all key personnel to carry out the project.
While salary charges to sponsored projects are made initially based on the planned or estimated workload of faculty and others, the actual effort of each individual working on sponsored projects must be monitored, with charges modified as necessary based on variances between the estimated and actual effort.
The Effort Report must be completed either by the individual whose effort is being reported, the PI, or a responsible person who has reasonable knowledge of the reportee's activities during the period.
The Effort Report must account for all effort covered under an individual's institutional base salary. Institutional base salary (IBS) is the annual compensation paid by Florida Tech for an employee's appointment, whether that individual's time is spent on research, teaching or other activities. By definition, an individual's total university effort must always equal 100 percent (never more or less), regardless of the number of hours worked or the appointment percent. For the purposes of determining the institutional base salary for compliance with 2 CFR 200, not all activities undertaken in an individual's professional capacity are included in activities compensated by IBS. Florida Tech Consulting activities, for example, would not be included.
For detailed information about the process of proposing, distributing, expending and certifying effort, refer to Florida Tech's Effort Reporting Directives and Procedures document.

Room 1206
November 11, 2002
To: Operating General Chairmen
From: Dennis Duffy
RE: System implementation of
Field Training Exercise
As many of you are aware, during the last year the Utah Service Unit piloted a new approach to administering efficiency tests.
The new approach is known as "FTX", which stands for "Field Training Exercise". It is based on promoting education and understanding of rules through a process of discussion between managers and the employee(s) involved in an efficiency test.
Many of you have commented favorably about FTX and have asked that it be expanded to the rest of the system. This letter is to inform you that the decision has been made to implement the program on the rest of the system effective January 1, 2003.
Enclosed is a copy of "FTX Guidelines", setting forth the details of the program. Between now and January 1, these guidelines will be distributed to the Regions for their use in preparing to implement the program.
I believe FTX is another example of what we can do together to improve our culture and make Union Pacific the safest railroad in the country. I hope you will support this effort by communicating the program to your local chairmen between now and January 1. Of course there will also be company communications to the employees between now and then.
FTX Questions and
Over the past year, the Utah Service Unit has piloted a new approach in the way Efficiency Testing results are handled. This new approach, called 'Field Training Exercise Program' (FTX), utilizes a practice called 'debriefing' for promoting compliance with UPRR rules, policies, and instructions, and for handling instances of substandard performance. Debriefing involves discussion between the testing manager(s) and the tested employee(s) and promotes education and understanding in lieu of the current practice of invoking disciplinary action for a test failure. Because of the success of this pilot, FTX will now be expanded to other service units. Following is a summary of the FTX process.
Notification of testing results
is within or outside of acceptable standards. For tests involving routine observations, crews will be informed of their
performance by the most expedient method, when practicable. This may include direct follow-up discussion or
subsequent contact/notification by the manager. For Structured Simulations (Set-up tests), crews will be debriefed at
the scene.
Performance below
• For UPGRADE Level 4
and all FRA engineer decertification events, a Formal Debriefing will be
held as soon after
• Any combination of three
failures within a 24-month period, regardless of level, will result in
ineligibility from FTX for
• Handling of certain rules infractions (I.e. decertifiable event), as dictated by Federal Regulations, remains unchanged.
• If the employee becomes
ineligible from participating in the FTX process due to test failure(s),
any subsequent test
• The intent of the field
debriefing is to review the rule(s) tested, the intent and application of
the rule(s), and the
• All debriefings will utilize
a debriefing checklist and affected employees will receive a copy of the
checklist at the
Formal Debriefing
representative will also be invited to attend. The formal debriefing will be conducted at a suitable location allowing for
privacy and open discussion as soon as practicable after the day of the failure.
• The formal debriefing is not
a fault-finding exercise. It is intended to be an open discussion and will
focus on root
* If an employee declines to participate in a debriefing, the failure will be handled through the disciplinary process.

Bank of America's (BAC) CEO Brian Moynihan on Q4 2016 Results
Optimism is palpable
"This quarter, investors have a lot – asked a lot of questions that they usually asked, but importantly, questions about the incoming new Presidential administration. Their questions have ranged from corporate tax reform and what do we think about that, regulatory changes, economic growth and the impacts of these things and interest rate changes. The optimism for positive change here at Bank of America and among our customers is palpable and has driven bank stock prices higher. We will have to see how these topics play out, but that we are optimistic and we will continue – but in the interim, we will continue to operate the company by controlling and driving what we can. We are going to drive responsible growth."
Got approval to return $4b in the first half
"Yes. John, so this morning and as part of our release, we announced that we got approval for de minimis of $1.8 billion, that's the $2.5 billion we have for the first half of this year to bring the repurchased volume for – to $4.3 billion for the first half year. So we applied to that obviously in December and got the approval and our Board has approved it."
Deposit growth strong driven by consumer
"Well, Marty, we – so let's start. We saw a $50-odd billion of deposit growth year-over-year. Consumer business was the lion's share of that. To give you a sense, fourth quarter '15 to fourth quarter '16, checking balance in the consumer business grew 12%, so the growth is strong. And as you said, we expect to maintain pricing discipline in the company, not – obviously, those are non-interest bearing, but on the interest bearing side. So – and you have seen that so far as the first couple of – the first rate happened last year. In terms of deployment economy, we made $20 billion more loans, And we will continue to drive the economy and we can will invest in mortgage backed securities and things like that, so we are able to fund easily all the loan demand that we think is responsible to take on. "
Did see some acceleration in consumer spending coming into the fall
"What I'd reflect on is that as you came from – through the summer into the fall through the election, you saw both on the consumer side and commercial side, you saw increasing optimism. On the consumer side, you saw a bit of an acceleration in spending coming into the fall. And so just if you think about the middle-market business, as I said earlier, the revolver utilization is on the high end of where it's been the past several years at 40% plus in a – that group, which is our middle-market business, a commercial real estate business, etcetera, at about $4 billion with loans in quarter four, so all that really relates to greater business confidence. And so I think we feel very good where businesses stand and if you get the same reports in the small business side, so they are very – as I go out and visit these clients, they are very optimistic."
Paul Donofrio
Mobile banking now represents 19% of all deposit transactions
"I won't go through all the details on this slide, but mobile devices now represent 19% of all deposit transactions and represent the volume of more than 880 financial centers. Sales on digital devices continued to grow and now represent 20% of total sales. "
We need to return capital to shareholders in order to push our ROE higher
"We need to get our capital down. We are returning more capital to shareholders. That's going to help. We need to continue to grow. So we feel really good about the progress that we have made. Our return on assets metric is tracking in the right direction. Our return on tangible common equity metrics is tracking in the right direction. So we will just have to wait and see. I think we would get there even without a rate rise eventually, but certainly rate rise is going to help."

I love a simple no fuss look and that is exactly what I went for! I used the dark brown from the 24k Nudes palette on my lids to add a daytime smoky effect that is still very subtle. Next, I lined my eyes with the Maybelline New York lasting drama waterproof gel pencil in polished amethyst which is a beautiful purple that brings out the brown flecks in my eyes, then to have a more glowy "awake look" I added the beautiful gold colour on the inner corners of my eyes. Side bar: this gold is the one that "sells" the palette and was the one used in many of the adverts and commercials. My lashes were complemented by the Maybelline Falsies push up angel mascara. The shape of the wand is a bit different from what I'm used to and while it did not work well on its own, it's great if you already have mascara on and want to add that 'falsie" look.
To finish off the look I added a lip-gloss as I had a long day and had no time for lipstick.
I have all the Maybelline Nude Palettes and they are pretty much similar in that the colours are either darkened or lightened. I was hoping for higher pigmentation and more gilttery gold hues. There was only 1 Gold colour and it was beautiful. The other colours are a bit chalky in texture, however, the colours pay-off is pretty decent as is the longevity in wear. I notice the applicator was smaller than in other palettes and they were not named on the palette. I really hope they would name the shades this time around so we can refer to them by name.
I received this product complimentary for the purpose of review from influenster.

By Tosha Dunn, Spring 2016 Student Intern
Right, let's start with the easiest thing. Your employer will likely offer some sort of benefits package that you should carefully consider. For one thing, benefits packages are essentially a sort of additional salary, even though they aren't included in that magic per year earnings number–think of them as the icing on the cake. Benefits packages on the whole generally include healthcare, sick leave, etc.
But let's move along and imagine Company A offers you a salary of $46,000 per year plus benefits that include healthcare and investment opportunities (maybe they offer a matching plan, more about that below), and Company B offers you a salary of $51,000 with only healthcare–how do you compare the two on your own? Remember, the benefits are a form of salary, and you need to be able to assign proper values to each because the $46,000 per year may actually be worth more than $46,000; in fact, it may raise the salary beyond the $51,000 depending on how good the benefits are. So two questions: (1) what are the most common plans offered, and (2) how do you compare the plans?
The plan you are most likely to encounter will be the 401(k). Insert scary music because whaaat is a 401(k)? Again, sorry, your biology degree isn't going to help in deciphering this one. However, the IRS supplies the most interesting definition of a 401(k) ever: "[it] is a defined contribution plan where an employee can make contributions from his or her paycheck either before or after-tax." Right-o, what that definition is trying to say is that a certain amount of money (determined by you) is removed from each paycheck received, and that money is set aside in an investment account. The investments are generally some financial vehicles offered by your employer that you select from, so maybe there's a fund or maybe there's company stock. The definition also gets at the removal of the money before or after taxes are removed–we won't be discussing the full ramifications of taxes here, so consult a tax professional.
Besides the 401(k), a secondary perk/common form of investment to check for is if the company offers any sort of matching plan. "Matching" means that whatever percentage of your paycheck that you determine to set aside in the 401(k) account, the company will match up to a defined percent. See, this is where you need to carefully look at the benefits offered because some employers will match up to 100% of the funds you put into the account (up to some level and then there may be a reduced amount of matching). Nonetheless, a matching plan of any sort means that whatever amount you invest will be increased by your company, and this results in a greater amount of funds to grow over time (which is extremely important because the more funds you having growing a longer period of time, the greater the amount you will have at retirement). However, matching is not always offered, but where it is, you would generally value a matching plan more highly than a plan not offering matching.
These two options are the most common retirement benefit plans offered, and for information about other less common plans a study from the Society for Human Resource Management provides a comprehensive list. The IRS also offers more dry definitions and a comprehensive list of benefit plans.

You are probably wondering what those takeout looking boxes are on top of police vehicles you see on Live PD. They are a part of a cellular based video distribution system that Live PD uses to send audio and video back to the headquarters in New York City.
The system uses up to eight 3G/4G cellular connections, two IP ethernet connections, Wi-Fi, and satellite mixing audio, data, and video links to the control room in New York. Producers in the control room can talk to the field producers directly over these links. The radio system does have channels available for drone use but that hasn't been used on the show yet.
In an interview with CreativePlanetNetwork, Jim Jachetta, CTO of VidOvation explains
"Bonded cellular technology [is being used] to synchronously stream live video from police cruisers, handheld camera operators, and drones from six cities to master control in New York City," explains Jim Jachetta, CTO of VidOvation.
"The major criteria was to transmit video and audio from up to five cameras in close proximity with perfect lip-sync and video synchronization between all cameras," Jachetta says. The production is deploying AVIWEST's DMNG PRO180-RA, using 34 systems across six cities. Two camera operators and a drone overhead, each with an HD camera and a DMNG PRO180 8 modem cellular transmitter, are covering the action outside the vehicle.
These antennas are not to be confused with speed enforcement laser systems or license plate capture systems like those pictured below.
This video explains the camera system in detail on a Live PD patrol vehicle:

Trade conditions continued to improve in March after moving into positive territory in February, as reflected in the Trade Activity Index (TAI) released by the South African Chamber of Commerce and Industry (Sacci) on Wednesday.
"The non-seasonally adjusted TAI increased by three points from 57 in February to 60 in March 2012," Sacci said in a statement.
When adjusted for seasonal factors, the TAI was 59 in March, up from 56 the previous month.
"A year ago the TAI dipped to 54 in March 2011 from 56 in February 2011," Sacci said.
In January, the TAI was neutral at 50. Prior to that it had been in negative territory — below 50 — since March last year.
Sacci conducts the survey among companies monthly to assess business's view of South African trade conditions.
Composite index
The TAI is a composite index of sales volumes, new orders, supplier deliveries, inventory levels and employment.
Sacci said sales remained strong at 66, as well as new orders at 63.
The inventories index declined slightly to 59 following increases in both January and February 2012.
"Supplier deliveries remained strong but decreased slightly to 56," Sacci said.
The index for current sales prices remained unchanged at 64 in March but the input price index increased to 72 from 69.
"The latest levels acknowledge rising price pressures and the latest fuel price increase, the introduction of new toll fees and tariff increases for municipal utilities services, will have a further negative effect on input prices with downstream consequences for inflation," Sacci said.
"The price rises will have a real impact on the spending power of already hard hit consumers and businesses."
High levels
The Trade Expectations Index (TEI) — which looks at conditions expected in six months time — remained at 67, the same high level as in February.
The TEI for the first quarter of the year averaged 65, compared to 64 in the same quarter last year.
"The prospects of interest rates remaining unchanged in 2012 are a contributing factor to higher trade expectations," Sacci said.
The six month outlook for key components of trade contracted marginally in March 2012.
Sales expectations at 69, and input price expectations at 76, remained high, but were slightly lower than the previous month.
Sacci said the employment conditions in the trade environment improved in March 2012 as the index moved into positive territory from 47 to 53.
Expectations on employment conditions were positive, although down by one point to 54. — Sapa

How can I edit a record from a database table?
If you have saved form data to a database table you often want to be able to re-load it into a form for editing. This FAQ tells you how to load a record using the DB Record Loader action.
To populate a form for editing you want to use the DB Record Loader (not the DB Multi-Record Loader) in CFv4, or the DB Read action in CFv5. Drag a copy into the On Load event of your form. The inages below are for CFv4, v5 works in a similar way.
Sometimes it's useful to have an 'edit' version of a form as well as a 'create' version for new records. This is especially true if there are some inputs that should not be editiable. You can use the Copy icon in the Forms Manager toolbar to create a second version of your form and then rename and edit it.
Simple lookup
On the Basic tab of the DB Record Loader put the column name that you want to look up in the DB Field Box; select the table in the Table box; put the name of the parameter in the $form->data array that holds the look-up value in the Request Param box.
This would work if the URL calling the form included, for example &article_id=999 or a preceding form had a select drop-down called article_id with the article id as the value.
If the parameter is included in the page URL or passed from a previous form step that's all you need.
Note that it's usually easier to use the id or cf_if column of the table rather than a column containing text like a name as names may contain characters, like spaces, that are not allowed in URLs and so need to be URLencoded before they can be used.
Lookup using the User ID
To use the current User ID put user_id in this box; save the DB Record Loader; then drag a Custom Code action into the same event and move it up before the DB Record Loader; open the Custom Code action and add this code:
<?php $juser = /JFactory::getUser(); $form->data['user_id'] = $juser->id; ?>
Using Model IDs
If you don't need it, you can safely ignore the Model ID feature.
If the Model ID is turned off - that is the 'Load Under Model ID' option is set to 'No' - then the data from the database table is loaded directly into the $form->data array as for example $form->data['column_name']. This data is treated in the same way as any other entry in the $form->data array; it can be used to replace {column_name} and will set the value of any form input with name='column_name'
If the Model ID is turned on then the data from the database table will be loaded into a subarray in the $form->data array as for example $form->data['ModelID']['column_name'].
The Model ID used will be either (a) the key you have entered into the 'Model ID' box; or (b) if the Model ID box is empty, the CamelCase version of the table name e.g. JosContent or JosChronoformsDataMyform
When a Model ID is set you need to use the Model ID when you access the data. In curly brackets use {ModelID.column_name} e.g. {JosContent.title} and form input names need to be array names like name='ModelID[column_name]' e.g. name='JosContent[title]'.
This sounds more complicated than it is in practice but you do need to take care to be consistent.
Saving an updated record
The ChronoForms DB Save action is usually the simplest way to save a record to the database. If the form data to be saved included a value with the same name as the table Primary Key and the value already exists in the table then that record will be updated.
For example, if the table primary key is 'id' and you have id=99 in your data then if there is a record with an id of 99 it will be updated.
If there isn't a record with this id, or if there is no id value in the data then a new record will be created.
The simplest way of keeping the id of a record that you are editing is to add a hidden input into your form with the same name as the Primary Key. ChronoForms will automatically set the value of this to the value of the record you load and will update the record in the DB Save.
Note: The primary key must have a numeric value, the Joomla! code that ChronoForms uses may fail if the Primary Key is a text string.
If you created the table with ChronoForms then the Primary Key will be set to cf_id (unless you changed that in the Create Table dialogue).

By Shreya, Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Night Cream – Body Shop Naturlift Firming Night Cream
I was checking out some of the Body shop stuff at the airport when I picked up Body Shop Naturlift Firming Day Cream and Night cream.
What Body Shop Claims about the Night Cream
Skin feels firmer and smoother, wrinkles appear softer. Moisturises for up to 12 hours. For signs of ageing.
Has a temporary lifting effect: skin is plumper and hydrated. Enriched with pomegranate seed oil and Community Trade brazil nut oil.
The pomegranate seed oil we use in our firming skin care range comes from pomegranates that are organically grown and hand-harvested by farmers in south-east Turkey. To retain their natural goodness the seeds are cold-pressed. The oil that extracted is organically certified.
- Size: 50 mlÂ
- Price: Rs. Â 1295
My experience with Body Shop Naturlift Firming Night Cream
The cream gets absorb into my oily skin quickly although when I checked out its ingredients I found that it has been loaded with oil such as pomegranate seed oil and Brazil nut oil.I was afraid that it might break me out which most of the rich creams do with my oily skin but thankfully it didn't .It has this sweet sticky smell which I do like but my sister hate that and still use this cream every single day because of its effective result…lolz.
After using the ceame for a week my skin does look smooth and I started getting compliment about it.It is a heavy cream but the glow which it brought to my face made me stick to it.
If you find the price expensive then just use it 2-3 days before any special occasion.You will notice the difference.
What I liked about The Body Shop Natrulift Firming Night Cream
- Bring s glow and make skin soft
- Gets absorbed with in seconds
- It is a great night treatment in winters
- It does plump up my face and gives my skin hydrated effect
- Doesn't break me out
- It has pomegranate seed oil and bazil nut oil which are rare to find in skin creams.
What I disliked about The Body Shop Naturl Lift Firming Night Cream
- This cream is heavy for my skin and is better suit on those who face dry skin problem through out the year.
- 50 ml quantity is quite less as compared to the price
- Expensive
- Will I recommend it to others – I will recommend it to my dry skin friends who are reaching the age where they need to put in extra effort on their skin.
- Rating – 3/5

Clooney vs. Abramoff
Jack Abramoff may be a crooked lobbyist, but some of his enemies are real jerks. Totally without class. And the Washington Post has taken steps to cover it up.
"You can never step in the same river twice." –Heraclitus
Jack Abramoff may be a crooked lobbyist, but some of his enemies are real jerks. Totally without class. And the Washington Post has taken steps to cover it up.
A couple of weeks ago, someone was beaten to death in an apparent robbery on the streets of Washington, DC.
Of course, this happens all the time — there are almost 200 murders a year in Washington, DC. But most of those murders are of poor people, tourists, or Metro commuters, so the cognoscenti rarely take notice. What makes this murder different is that the victim was a longtime New York Times reporter and editor, David E. Rosenbaum. Now that is an outrage! New York Times reporters are supposed to b exempt from these things!
More interesting, however, is the reaction of the local media. They have focused on the notion that "mistakes were made" in the investigation, the ambulance response, and that sort of thing. They seem to take as given that crimes are to be expected, and society's job is merely to respond — to send an ambulance to pick up the victim, and, if possible, put the murderer away (say, for a "maximum sentence" of five years).
One blogger, "The Conservative UAW Guy," has a more strident view, which challenges this whole world view, and refuses to take victimhood as a given. He expresses it rather sardonically, but I think he gets his point across:
I wonder if New York Times editor and reporter David E. Rosenbaum was saying
"Thank God I don't have an evil, redneck, knuckle-dragger firearm.", as he was beaten to death by his (at large) attackers. He was anti-gun; but all the way to the very end? I wonder.
How many deaths are attributable to liberals disarming law-abiding citizens.
The world may never know…
I'm quite certain the Times is glad he wasn't armed.
"Think of the children, David."
I guess the main thing is no one got shot. Don't you feel safer?
Yay! Gun control works!!
My prayers are with him and his family. I hope his killers get shot.
David E. Rosenbaum wasn't killed with a gun, but that is little comfort. He was probably attacked by people physically much stronger than he was, perhaps with a baseball bad or some similar innocuous object that could be used as a weapon. I don't know the state of his health, but at age 63 he was probably not much match for (possibly) younger criminals. Had he been armed with a gun, he could have had a chance at defending himself — a gun can make a less physically strong person more than a match for a stronger person with only fists, a baseball bat, or even a knife — and an even match or better for an attacker with a gun.
The primary effect of gun control is to disarm people who are less able to resist attackers. Actually, in many cases it's even worse than that, because those who are willing to disobey laws against robbery, assault, rape, and murder are more than likely willing to disobey laws against carrying guns as well. Thus, those willing to obey the law are disarmed and those willing to commit crimes are emboldened.
One of the underlying assumptions of gun control — and this doesn't apply exactly to the Rosenbaum event, but the principle is the same — can be summed up like this:
A woman raped and strangled is morally superior to a woman with a smoking gun and a dead rapist at her feet.
And that is about as pro-crime a sentiment as I can imagine.

The world of Greco-Roman antiquity has many facets and hence Classics embraces many disciplines. You will be analysing representative primary sources much more in-depth than was the case during the Bachelor's phase. Choosing your own areas of interest you will be introduced into scholarly debates and learn to handle the academic instruments to contribute yourself to those discussions. In addition, you will be shown how to relate your specialist, critical knowledge of antiquity to texts and other cultural phenomena from later periods.
The programme
Thanks to the wide range of courses ACASA offers, each student can put together a study plan tailored to suit his or her specific interests. You can choose from modules in the following fields:
The Master's programme in Classics offers two specializations:
A university language study does not lead to but one specific career. As a graduate of Classics you can be employed in positions within your area of expertise, as well as positions not related to your academic background (which require a critical, independent and inquisitive mindset). Alumni found employment as:
Possible employers include:
About two out of every three graduates of the MA in Greek and Latin Language and Culture (GLTC) find employment in secondary education. If you're indeed planning to become a lecturer, you should enrol for the one year teaching qualification after completion of your MA in Classics.

From late December to early May, flocks of cranes return to Tram Chim to live after migrating to evade the floods. They fly over a vast carpet of green cajeput trees, creating a fantastic scene. Visiting the park during that time people will enjoy the landscape of beautiful skies, rivers and cajeput forests. Hundreds of species of birds, such as storks, teals, grebes, herons and wild ducks perch on branches of trees seeking food.
Tram Chim National Park has the natural identity of the Dong Thap Muoi region. There are cajeput forests that are 10-18 years old, various species of lotus (white, pink and half white and half pink, water lilies, rice and water morning glory.
In early 1999, Tram Chim was officially recognized as Tram Chim National Park by the Government. This brought joy and pride to the people in Dong Thap Muoi. Many international organizations for natural preservation have provided funds to protect this park. Every year, thousands of tourists visit Tram Chim, of which about 30% are foreigners. Tourists will find a peaceful atmosphere and be able to watch the flocks of cranes returning to live in this submerged area.

I applaud your commitment to such a stunning and one-of-a-kind stone. However, my fear is the stone might be too over whelming for such a large space. To maximize the Altair without overpowering your room, I would recommend using it on the island, per your initial thought, paired with Absolute Black on the perimeter followed by a 4" Altair backsplash. If you are really set on using Altair throughout, I would recommend breaking up the space with some of the black the stone has to offer. Since you are willing to wait a little longer to get the stone of your dreams, I would strongly recommend contacting the location nearest you to discuss reserving a slab or two based on your needs. Let me know what you think!
- Derek
04:58PM, Dec 31 2011
Altair for the island to make it stand out as the centerpiece of your design, and a more consistent, almost solid colored stone for the perimeter is the way to go and a very appropriate design choice. For the perimeter, my recommendations are colors such as Black Pearl, Black Mist, Ubatuba Gold, ect. By the way, Altair is one of my favorite stones, the rich and deep golden veins are absolutely stunning! Good luck on the project and we wish you a Happy New Year.
12:35AM, Dec 31 2011
Thank you for your input. I agree. I was thinking the same thing. I have waited two years to get my granite and I can not get the altair out of my head. Nothing else seems to appeal to me. I have the funding for a gold one stone but I am seriously considering waiting another couple of months to get the altair through out the kitchen.
- Kinga
04:00PM, Dec 30 2011
The Altair is a one-of-a-kind, completely unique stone that will take your breath away every time you look at it. My concern is that the Amarello Boreal is too busy for the Altair. I would recommend a solid color like Absolute Black or even Black Galaxy. Both of these stones would complement the stunning Altair without overwhelming the space.
12:29AM, Dec 30 2011
We are scheduled for a measuring next week. My favorite stone is your Altair. Is it possible to have my island in the altair stone and the L shaped counter in a stone like amarello boreal? If this is a possibility what stone would you suggest for the L shaped counter with the Altair for the island.
- Derek
06:58PM, Nov 3 2011
If the kitchen is a large, open space with plenty of natural light then I do not think the Amarello Boreal would be too dark or gloomy. It could be a perfect combination, make sure to look at the full slabs and bring samples home with you to see how it looks in your kitchen! Some other recommendations you may want to consider are Brown Alpine, Amazon Tiger, and Kosmus. As for backsplash, Kinga has wonderful glass tile suggestions. For a tumbled natural stone suggestion with glass inserts, take a look at a Mazia Beige travertine mosaic such as the one I've attached to my response. Good luck!
- Kinga
05:25PM, Nov 1 2011
If you get lots of natural light, you can definitely go dark like Ubatuba or Green Gold. I probably would stay away from black granites because the space might start to feel too dark. The above pictured stone is also a beautiful choice for your space. A glass tile backsplash is a popular and trendy choice right now. You should pick your tile backsplash based on your granite choice. If you go dark on your countertop, consider going lighter on the backsplash to give your space balance. Check out Anatolia Bliss Spa Linear Mosaic and Anatolia Bliss Bamboo Linear Mosaic backsplash ideas. Let me know what you think!

I Have dark wood floors in the kitchen, new stainless appliances, and med color oak cabinets (not new). I love the dark granite colors like black or brown and have a good light with several windows. Currently I have the walls painted a mustard yellow & have accents of gold and red in customs windows toppers. Do you think the black granite would be too dark with the dark floors if I keep the med color wood cabinets? Or should I darken the cabinets? How about glass tiles for backsplash?
- Derek
05:29PM, Oct 12 2011
Another option could be Tropical Brown, it's very sharp and elegant. The key is to offset the cabinets nicely without making the design look too stark!
- Kinga
06:09PM, Oct 11 2011
Take a look at Santa Cecilia Real, Bismark Brown and Giallo Fiorito
. The above pictured stone would also work well with your cabinets without making your kitchen feel too dark. Another great option is Butterfly Green and Coast Green
. Let me know what you think!
04:54PM, Oct 11 2011
Help, I need a color to contrast with white cabinets in a kitchen that lets in very little light. Black will be too dark and I'm afraid the lighter colors look washed out.
10:12AM, Apr 19 2011
REPLY TO EARLIER MESSAGE: I don't think my builder gave me option of Tropical Brown. My options are: - Santa Cecilia - Amarello Boreal - Venetial Gold - Tan brown Of those four, with a light beige tile, which would look the best?
Marmi di Carrara
12:27PM, Apr 20 2011
Tabitha: I'm leaning towards the lighter choices out of the options that are available. Either Santa Cecilia or Venetian Gold. I just think the Amarello would be a little too dark for your set-up.
09:06AM, Apr 19 2011
I am having Dark mocha brown cabinets installed in my new home. The tile in the kitchen will be a simple, neutral beige. The tile will also be used as a backsplash. The granite color I was thinking of was amarello boreal, but I worried about it being too dark. What do you think?
Marmi di Carrara
09:32AM, Apr 19 2011
Tabitha: May be a little too dark. Try Tropical Brown and let me know what you think.

Frank: The Amarello Boreal will provide sufficient contrast to offset your maple cabinets, go for it!
Robert Hodgson
05:38PM, Jul 21 2010
We are going with Kraftmaid praline maple cabinets. Would amarello boreal be a good contrast in the brown/taupe family or would you suggest another. We both like the taupe family and have decided on our cabinets.

Robert Hodgson: It's an excellent choice, I also like Tropical Brown.

I am installing dark hardwood floors and light cherry cabinets. How would Amarello Boreal look? I've picked lighter slabs but am now rethinking my choice.
Marmi di Carrara
12:48PM, Apr 30 2009
Denise: I think it would get close to the surrounding wood. I would suggest getting a sample and checking against the rest of the elements in the kitchen.
06:57PM, Apr 17 2009
What do you recommend for a backsplash with this granite? I don't want to use granite and am considering a tile. The other color in my kitchen is a medium sage green. I feel the tile should be a medium color also, so as not to detract the granite, which should be the main focus. Thank you.
Marmi di Carrara
12:17PM, Apr 18 2009

09:51AM, Nov 19 2008
Carol K: This is basically as dark as I would go.

Would this granite be a good contrast with very light oak cabinets and white appliances, or is there a better choice of granite

The Conservatives are working hard at all levels across the country to deliver world class infrastructure. Here in Sheffield we are determined to ensure that our city gets the vital funding for transport and digital infrastructure projects that we deserve.
Ten English cities – including Sheffield - will receive a share of £60 million for transport projects through the Transforming Cities Fund, and we will boost digital connectivity by rolling out fibre broadband to nine more local authority areas who will each receive a share of £53 million.
Last September it was announced that Sheffield City Region was one of 10 shortlisted areas in the country to receive Transforming Cities cash. As Conservatives here in Sheffield we are working hard to make the most of the fantastic opportunity that the Conservative Party in government in Westminster has offered us.
Labour's ideology prevents them from acknowledging such schemes, but with the Conservatives you get the best value and the best results.
Sheffield Conservatives are working for a brighter future for Sheffield.

Listening to dJinns, an unassumingly dope two-piece musical project from Jozi, I genuinely struggle with the fact that they're 18. There's a maturity and nonchalant coolness to their work that even at my big age, I don't think I could ever achieve. Francesco Mbele (Vocals and songwriting) and Jesse Elk (Producer and composer) seem to have a surety in their abilities that bleeds through the music and makes them stand out from their peers. I mean, I'm used to lighties being confident, I'm just not used to their work sounding this interesting.
And you know what? After briefly getting to know them, their work sounds interesting because they're interesting. The duo formed during a serendipitous shroom trip, and the two of them have been exploring together ever since. "Me and Francesco weren't super close but we had a bunch of mutual friends," Jesse explains, "One day, we decided to trip shrooms at my place and Francesco came along for the ride." According to Francesco, he saw a synth on Jesse's bedroom desk that he wanted to ask about, but was too shy. "Midway through the trip I had this burning desire to work on some new music," Jesse tells us, "Francesco saw what I was doing and creatively our energies came together."
"I was about to leave. Jesse placed the small midi synthesizer on his lap and began to play a beautiful melody. I was pretty enamoured." While Francesco had been singing and writing since primary school, he "felt a spark I had never felt before." That spark has been burning bright ever since.
"We like to tell stories through our sounds and subject matter, whether personal, figurative or fictional. Our music is for narratives which are not told in conventional media," Francesco explains when asked about their work, "whether that be the vices of inner city life or queerness in a Muslim home."
"I am Muslim and that has always influenced my artistry, with my main focus being redefining the 21st century Muslim." All this whilst studying Urban Design at Wits.
From a musical standpoint, Jesse's playing and writing is influenced by "a range of genres but my main influences come from jazz, neo-soul, r&b and hip-hop." Jesse says he's "super excited for the future," as he feels he still has much to learn, "which is why next year I will be joining the Wits music department."
According to Francesco, their latest single, 'Mountain Coast', is about "the contrasting experiences felt within South Africa's mother city." He wrote most of the lyrics on a flight back from his first Cape Town visit in July this year. "We wanted to juxtapose the contrasting feelings that one feels when going to a new space by themselves and how one learns the beauties and harshness of a city, and the shoegaze atmosphere that Jesse created complimented the content perfectly."
For Jesse, that "shoegaze atmosphere" came from listening to a bunch of "Mac Demarco-type shoegaze indie rock vibes" when he first lay down the chord progression. Seems apt for a song about Cape Town tbh. Jesse continued to work on it and "brought in some jazzy piano, sax and a funky bass to spice things up a bit." The end result is indeed spicy and oh-so-groovy.
So, what lies ahead for the young duo? Well, Jesse first needs to put matric behind him for good and then it's on to Wits and putting all his focus and energy into music. "Francesco and I don't have anything specific planned in terms of what the new music is going to be, but we know it will happen as soon as we're back in the studio together."
"We want to continue pushing what people expect to hear, not conforming to expected noises and songwriting," Francesco explains. "A project might be on the way soon, but we are not going to rush into anything, and as we are independent, it takes a lot more work to create a significant piece of work."
Other than that? Well, you're probably going to hear and see a lot more of dJinns in the near future. According to Jesse, "We do have plans to start organising distribution and label things, though, and to play as many live shows as we can!"

SEYNE-LES-ALPES, France — This mountain village was a remote place, a haven for holiday hikers and seasoned rock climbers, until this week, when it became a place of incomprehensible tragedy for the families of the passengers on a routine German flight.
The crash of the Airbus A320 jet on a snow-sprinkled range near here on Tuesday turned the deep ravines into a mountain morgue and the village into a place of mourning. It also transformed it into a gathering place, as would-be rescuers, investigators, cabinet members on Tuesday, and the leaders of France, Germany and Spain on Wednesday, all converged here in the wake of the Germanwings flight's inexplicable descent into a mountainside.
As the names of the dead began to trickle out — 150, all told, from at least 15 countries — and as investigators sought to solve the mystery of why the flight went down, residents here also prepared to receive the victims' families. Hundreds of the relatives are expected to descend on the valley, said Francis Hermitte, the mayor.
The magnitude of the task of recovering the bodies was sinking in on Wednesday as seven helicopters roared nonstop over this village, up to the slate and limestone escarpment strewn with pieces of wreckage. It was becoming clear that both determining the cause of the crash and accounting for the human toll would probably be a lengthy mission. It is likely to take more than two weeks to bring the wreckage and body parts off the mountain, and identifying the 150 people who died will take much longer, rescue personnel said.
Victims of Germanwings Flight 9525
Passengers from at least 15 countries were aboard the flight from Barcelona, Spain, to Düsseldorf, Germany, including 72 Germans and 35 Spaniards. Here are profiles of some of the 123 victims whose families have been notified.
The crash site is inaccessible by road or foot, and even helicopters cannot land because there is nowhere flat enough. Rescuers, doctors and investigators must be lowered onto the mountainside by cables.
Their task then is to preserve the debris in packages that must be hauled up to the hovering helicopters, said Fabrice Rouve, 46, an experienced rescue worker and former soldier who now works with the High Mountain division of the gendarmes.
All non-Alpine-trained officials at the scene — doctors, investigators and airplane engineers — must be accompanied by Alpine rescuers to ensure that they do not slip and tumble down the mountain. There are worries, as well, that intruders would find a way to reach the crash site and disturb the debris, which is essential to the investigation, said Mr. Rouve, so five gendarmes were being left overnight to guard the site.
Mr. Rouve, like others who had flown up to the mountain, was struck, if not shaken, by the sheer destruction he saw. Xavier Roy, the coordinator for emergency personnel, said after flying over the site that he was surprised by the absence of big pieces of wreckage, an engine or a large piece of the fuselage, typically visible after a crash.
"Here, we are not seeing anything except bits and pieces," Mr. Roy said. "The largest piece we have seen so far is the equivalent of a car door." He said that the initial rescue workers who reached the scene on Tuesday had scoured the area, looking for movement or sounds from any potential survivors, but that they had not heard or seen anything to suggest that anyone might have lived through the crash.
Leaders of the three countries most affected by the tragedy — President François Hollande of France, Chancellor Angela Merkel of Germany and Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy of Spain — went to the mountain Wednesday afternoon to thank emergency medical workers and pay homage to the dead.
Mr. Hollande was the only one of the three who did not lose fellow citizens, and he spoke in a heartfelt tone, as if reassuring a family member, and called the leaders by their first names. He later promised that France would do everything it could to help, from investigating to supporting the families of the victims who were expected to come to this hamlet in the next few days. "We must understand what happened; we owe it to the families and to the countries that are impacted by this tragedy," he said.
Ms. Merkel and Mr. Rajoy thanked Mr. Hollande, but Ms. Merkel, who lost 72 of her citizens in the crash and has sometimes seemed at odds with the French president over policy, was moved by the French outpouring. "Dear François, I'd like to say a heartfelt thank you in the name of millions of Germans who appreciate this German-Franco friendship," she said.
The plane touched families from at least 15 countries, but the biggest shares were from Spain, which lost 45 citizens, and from Germany. Among those who died were a newlywed couple hoping to settle in Düsseldorf, the flight's destination; the opera singers Oleg Bryjak, a bass baritone, and Maria Radner, a contralto; the wife of a Catalan politician; an Australian hoping to start a teaching career in France, and a mother with her 7-month-old baby. There were 16 high school students and two of their teachers, returning to Germany after a week at an exchange program outside of Barcelona, where the flight took off.
The flight was in so many ways a reflection of Europe today, with the majority of those on board making a short hop from one European Union country to another, mixed with a smattering of farther-flung visitors.
On Wednesday, as early-morning fog gave way to a cold overcast day, emergency workers were placing flags to mark the locations of the victims.
Mr. Rouve said that in more than 14 years on the job, he had dug people out of avalanches, rescued stranded rock climbers and recovered the bodies of fallen climbers. But he said the crash of the Germanwings flight was a different order of destruction.
"All of my colleagues who are experts, we all agreed, we had never seen anything like this," he said. "First we saw just some tendrils of smoke from the wreckage, and it's hard to imagine for a big aircraft like this, but there was nothing left," he added.
Mr. Rouve said that what was most distressing to him was the state of the victims' remains.
"There were no more whole bodies," he said, although he could not be sure he had seen the entire site because the wreckage was scattered over a large area.
Seyne-les-Alpes, a village of 1,400 in a valley a three-hour drive northwest of Nice, found itself overrun. The atmosphere was somber, with natives especially distressed that their village had been turned into a place of such tragedy. Many spontaneously offered to lend a hand in any way they could, as if wanting to make amends for the destruction in what almost all locals call "our mountains."
While the authorities were making plans to help hundreds of families travel to the village, residents and local hoteliers offered families places to stay for free, Mayor Hermitte said.
Villagers set up a temporary chapel in a school gymnasium for the families to pray and be alone, and educators at the local high school offered to act as translators for the families.
René Vaugeois, who retired here more than 10 years ago and has the ruddy look of an enthusiastic hiker, said that he felt sad that the mountain environment which had brought him so much happiness was now enveloped in mourning.
"We are very moved; those are our mountains, we hike there every summer and we've done every peak here," he said. Asked whether he would take victims' families into his home he did not hesitate: "I would do it."

Rastafarian Red
Made in the U.S.A. of soft polyester micro fiber, HEDz is a seamless tube. It is the most incredibly versatile piece of gear you can get for motorcycling or any other outdoor activity. The micro fiber fabric wicks the moisture away from your skin to keep you warmer in cold weather and drier in the summer.
It stretches in width, to fit everyone, which makes it a great gift.
You can use it as a scarf to seal your collar, a mask to protect your face against a chilly draft or bugs, a helmet liner (with no seam to create painful pressure points on your head), a balaclava, a ponytail holder and a headband, and a couple of hats to cover your hair, including the stylish "pirate look" and a do-rag. The applications are limited to your imagination!
Dim: 18" long x 10"wide (20" around)
Directions for use are printed on the packaging.
Posted by Bill Pollack on 21st May 2015
My wife and I bought a couple of these, oh, 10 or 15 years ago -- the exact same do-it-all tube fabric gizmos. Very useful for taking the chill off your neck in cold riding, or pulling up even more, over your head, in really cold weather. The new one, however, doesn't have the degree of stretchiness of the old ones, so I'm disappointed.

A Higher Calling
Brendhan the Mantid embodied this ideal; he loved the Sea perhaps more than any of us. He left the safety and comfort of a garden, or perhaps a municipal park, to live the nautical life, eating what few bugs he could find to celebrate the sea and enrich the lives of everyone on the Sailing Yacht Lady Bug.
We hardly knew Brendhan the Mantid yet he touched us all. We don't know where he came from or why he was on the boat. We just know that he loved that cockpit coaming that he called home and took great care of the jib downhaul line, ensuring no rope mites could eat at its core.
Brendhan the Mantid and I had an uneasy friendship at times. Who could forget the time I jammed a winch handle into his home only to recoil as he emerged ready to attack? Or the time I ordered him off of my ship for the innocent crime of being creepy-looking?
But we had great times as well. In our first meeting as I joyously announced that we had a stowaway, calling the kids on deck to take a look. And that first sail when he became such a respected member of the crew that we forgot we had a six-legged friend living in the cockpit coaming. Mostly, we can thank him for tirelessy protecting Lady Bug from other predators.
We will hold a small service, a viewing and ceremony, on Sunday, September 2 on board the Sailing Yacht Lady Bug where the most nautical of all mantids, Brendhan, will be buried at sea. Donations can be made in his honor to The Sierra Club.
Celebrate Brendhan the Mantid's all too short life as he keeps the afterlife free of rope mites.

Alas another tragedy!, Life is so short and fleeting. RIP brave Mantis we will remember your tireless devotion to duty. RIP
Better to live full life on the sea then have it cut short getting a little Nucky from an uncaring mate that only cares about you as food value and sex.
RIP know that the crew has lost a vital member, and though they did not fully regrade you as a great sailing warrior whilst you served, as all greats one, you will be missed. RIP
note: interestingly there was a well known Praying Mantis teacher in S.F. named Brendan a few years ago, who passed away.
- Tillerman said...
My condolences. I know that he was just like family to you and he brightened the lives of millions who read of his nautical exploits on your blog.
I hope you are planning a Viking funeral so he can go down in flames with his vessel?
- Christy ~ Central Air said...
OMG, what a graphic, disturbing 'snuff' photo. Some of us could have lived without that, but it was thoughtful of you to, uhm, fully document the event.
And, uh, sorry for your loss. I never particularly cared for your stowaway, but I sincerely hope that he didn't suffer.
- Brendhan said...
Did you suppress a scream like a 7 year old girl while you move the carcass?
- EVK4 said...
Christy, I guess I figured that if I was going to be sending this in for a first grade show and tell then it was probably OK for my viewing audience. Then again, this creature is pretty frightening even in stasis.
- Carol Anne said...
We shall all mourn the loss of Brendhan the Brave. Let us make a toast in his honor.
Please accept my condolences. As the nameless crew member who once was to dispose of the creature upon its discovery, I felt a special bond with it. The bod was deepened when I (just now) learned of its name. I found this information about the name "Brendhan" and thought it would be some comfort to you:
"The name Brendan... is of Irish, Gaelic and Celtic origin, and its meaning is "prince". Saint Brendan of Ireland (sixth century), known as "the Voyager", is famed for his scholarship and adventurous traveling, including a seven-year voyage to a land that some think may have been North America..."
The light that burns brightest, burns briefest. May choruses of cicadas sing him sweetly to rest.

Be aware this is a spoiler discussion of Justice League.
Love it or hate it (or think it's kinda just dumb but fun), Justice League is one fascinating piece of filmmaking. The product of two visions and two filmmakers, Justice League began as a Zack Snyder epic, but the filmmaker stepped down from the project over personal matters, Wonder Woman offered a course correction for the DCEU, and Joss Whedon was brought on board to finish the film in time for the release date. Well, the release date is here, the film is as finished as it'll ever be, and the resulting movie is a choppy, chaotic creation; a true Franken-film that somehow finds a weird alchemy between the properties of two very different filmmakers and works better than it probably should.
People will spend too much time arguing over who gets credit for what scene, even though we'll probably never know for sure what comes from which filmmaker. Well, unless it's a mustache CGI scene, in which case it's painfully obvious. There are ADR one-liners and moments of ensemble banter that have a distinctly Whedon flourish, and there are ballad montages and epic, heightened action that feel extremely Snyder, but they way in which those scenes are fitted together make it obvious that the matter of ownership in this film is complicated beyond who shot what. Even with the visible seams between the filmmakers, Whedon was a smart pick to steer the ship after Snyder's departure, and he does good work translating the two halves into an entertaining, breezy superhero romp. Indeed, the pacing is a key player in what makes Justice League work. While the trim two-hour runtime will leave some diehards wanting more, especially in the wake of Snyder's three and a half hour cut of Batman v Superman, Whedon's cut keeps Justice League moving, and that crisp cadence helps conceal the film's flaws rather than exacerbate them.
If pacing keeps the ship afloat, Justice League has two great flaws that almost sink the whole thing; it's an ugly film and it has a terrible villain. The first point comes as a bit of a surprise considering Snyder's films always look distinct and polished, but Justice League's look and VFX work were lost in translation during the choppy production. The villain problem, sadly, is all too common in the superhero cinema, but even among the piteous ranks of Malekith and Ares, Steppenwolf is an egregious, dumb CGI villain who feels ripped from an early-aughts video game. It's a depressing waste Ciaran Hinds' talents, but hopefully, he's putting his grandkids through college with that paycheck or something.
The cast and their chemistry make the film a consistently entertaining ride in spite of those faults. The returning players are strong. Ben Affleck continues to be a better Batman and Bruce Wayne them people want to give him credit for, and this is the closest we've seen him to true blue Batman after the murdery rage of Batman v Superman. Henry Cavill is without a doubt the best he's ever been allowed to be as the Man of Steel, refreshingly sunny and earnestly heroic. He feels like classic Superman. His arc doesn't quite track, and you get the sense that this is where Whedon made his most significant changes to Snyder's original design, but it's a delight to see Cavill unleash his easy charisma, which any Man from U.N.C.L.E. fan could tell you was hiding in there somewhere. Wonder Woman is both a clutch player and a joy of the film thanks to Gal Gadot and her irrepressible on-screen spark, but the character is sadly saddled with the role of naggy maternal mentor and she lacks her sense of, well… wonder. Gadot brings an essential electricity to the dynamic and she's still a stunning, inspirational incarnation of the character, but she isn't allowed to trot out those qualities enough. And without Patty Jenkins, it's back to upskirts and leering camera angles. Ick.
